A2K Application.Qui t won't - reference MDA libraries

Greetings,

I have an application which has recently gone from being one big piece
of front-end code to being three, i.e. an mdb A that references an mda
B and an mda C. (For what it's worth, in the interest of complete
disclosure, mda B also references mda C).

This application has always closed in the mvps time-honored method of
calling Application.Qui t on the Unload event of the switchboard.

Problem is, now the db closes (the ldb on the back end disappears), but
Access doesn't shut down, and the ldbs on all three front-end projects
are still there.

Before you answer, please consider that
* DoCmd.Quit doesn't do any better, and none of the arguments change
the outcome
* I've read every thread on this forum containing the words
"applicatio n" and "quit", to no avail--which hopefully means there's an
easy answer!
* The two-three references to "quit" "access" in the MSKB don't apply
* I am explicitly closing every object reference prior to invoking said
quit method

So I guess I'm asking, can anyone tell me how to "close" an mda
reference in such a way that the Application will Quit? Or is there
something else I've missed, and I'm asking the wrong question?

Thanks for your time & consideration.

What version of Access? There was a reported bug about "unable to close
Access" in which one of the solutions was to ensure that all checks of
Boolean values and CheckBoxes be changed from this:

If BooleanVariable Then ...

or

If CheckBox Then ...

To this:

If BooleanVariable = True Then ...

or

If CheckBox = True Then ...

Also, make sure the DoCmd.Quit is in the .mdb file not in the .mda
files.

It's Access 2000 (in the thread title). And yes, I saw that bug--an
Access 97 bug--but that's not the problem. And no, the quit call is in
the principal mdb.

Thanks for taking a shot, anyway.

I've checked and rechecked all my references, stepped through code, and
managed to make Access drop the ldb on the mdb front-end file, but it's
still holding on to the other two, and therefore not closing.

Very, very frustrating. I'll keep at it though...

Just a follow-up for anyone else who may read this now or forever...

I still haven't found a way to get rid of the locking files on mda
libraries. But by converting them to mde files--annoying
mid-development, but otherwise harmless--Access magically quits. So
it's a solid workaround.

Still trying to learn PyQt from a book about several Python GUI toolkits, I seem to learn first what doesn't work.

I have an application written in Tkinter. There is a menu item 'quit' that calls the function 'quit'. If 'quit' is called, it first checks if there is unsaved data. If there is, it won't let the application exit unless you confirm to disregard the changes. So far, so good. I want the program to behave identical if the 'close' button of the application window is clicked. I tried the code below,

Sometimes users (including myself) accidentally click on the application close icon in the application menu bar when they meant to just click on the 'X' for the form. Of course the app closes and this is very annoying. So, I added a messagebox to my hidden StartAppForm in the Unload event. Now when the application closes the user is presented with a message so they can abort closing in case they don't really want to close. This has been...

Just noticed something interesting in the above. If you have your program file set to "Compact on Close" in access 2007 (which is desirable when you have a larger program that frequently needs compacting), if you use the following code on an "Exit Application" type button, the compacting on close won't fire: Application.Quit acQuitSaveNone however, if you use:
