Releasing object referrences from station variables

[mcfrenzy36]

I am creating object referrences for both Active X and .NET components.  These objects must be used throughout multiple sequences within the mainsequence.  I am looking at relaesing the objects at the end of the mainsequence, but so far, all I can currently do is use an expression statement and state

objectreferrence = ""

Is there a better way to do this.  I have tried setting equal to null, but that is coming back as invalid.

Set to object to Nothing

eg

Locals.SeqObj = Nothing

In addition to Rays correct answer, you should make sure that the objects do not provide a dedicated shutdown routine.

Simply setting the reference to Nothing will free tha handle, but this could lead to object leaks.

hope this helps,

The handle is one concern to make sure that the object can be created and used again.  Also, the leaks are my biggest concern.
