Application process keeps running after quitting and returning to

I'm running Visual Studio 97 (vc++ 5.0) on Windows XP SP2 and when I run my
program from inside the development environment, and then I quit it, it goes
back to VC, but sometimes if I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and look at my processes
running, there is my program! Which can stop it from linking or running
successfully until I kill it in there.

Has anyone else seen this? It's just started happening to me in the last
few months.

My guess is that you use multi threading and that one of the threads keeps
on running.

I'm pretty sure I can take out Access as the middleman by just querying against the...
