I agree with Deighton on avoiding public variables and arrays.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to note that it's a good practice to free up everything you don't need anymore. I mean objects, escpecially large automation objects and also recordsets.<br />
<br />
It would be helpful to know what kind of tasks your program does.

Reducing ram usage

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
