Memory doesnt freed on Destroying the COM objects.

I'm using a COM Object in Visual Basic. Following statement is not removing the allocated memory for that object.
set objCOM = nothing

This memory is freed up only when I close the Visual Basic application. COM Interface was developed using C++ and I'm caling those objects in Visual Basic.

Is it the VB Problem or problem in COM Interface creation in C++?

Please Help. THanks in Advance.

I would look at the COM Component first. Doesn't sound like a VB issue, unless you still have a reference to the component when you are trying to kill it...

There is probably something missing in the destructor of the C++ class.

I would check if this happens on a form with one instance of the 'accussed' object.

' Form1 code
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Click()
Form2.Show vbModal ' show test form
Set Form2 = Nothing
End Sub
