RunTime Error '7'-Out of Memory

[anchorjoe]

I have a problem I am hoping someone might be able to help me with or point me in the right direction. I have been developing a program that simulates an irrigation pivot panel for my job and I am running into a problem when I close the compiled program. When I compile the program and then run it, it seems to run OK, but when I go to close it and close the COM port I am using I get the error in the subject line. From what I have been able to find, it might be related to my form_load code, but I am honestly not sure. Here is my form_load code:

I do have a timer that I start once the user selects a COMport, and within the timer I am evaluating variables for proper alignment, etc. This program also communicates with our product to change the defined variables within the program. Is there a way to clear memory to prevent this from happening? Am I declaring too many variables? Not quite sure how I should go about fixing this error. Thanks.

Okay, when you go to close the form, you need to some cleaning up of your objects that you have created/initialized. The timer for one would be good to disable with a timer1.enabled = false and you should close your com port in the proper way. You can do this cleanup in either query unload or in unload.

Good Luck

As per vb5prgrmr, you are probably receiving requests from your winsockets/ports. This is mainly because they are still open and the timer event is triggered while you are ending the app. Try the following:

You can close your winsockets by using something like -

Private Sub socket_Close(index As Integer)
    'close a particular connection and decrease the number of concurrent connections
    sServerMsg = "Connection closed: " & Socket(index).RemoteHostIP
    Socket(index).Close
    Unload Socket(index)
    iSockets = iSockets - 1
    lblConnections.Caption = iSockets
    
End Sub

Disable the timer to stop listening for new data/requests -

Timer1.Enabled = False
