I have a form with a menuitem the calls Me.Close().  I
have code in the Form_Closing event to store application
parameters and then I have code in the Form_Closed event
that calls Application.Exit().

I can step through the code in the MenuItem_Click event
and see that the Me.Close() method is called but niether
event method seems to be called and the application never
exits.  Any clues as to why?

Mark,

It sounds weird, but I recall that when I mess about with some of the code I
somtimes accidentally "remove" the Handles statement right after the
procedure declaration. Has this happened in your case, does
<FormName>_Closing event have a Handles MyBase.Closing statement after the
procedure declaration?

Just guessing here...

Yes, both events have the correct Handles Mybase.(event
name) code in the method declaration.

with some of the code I

The following code shows 2 msgboxes for me and exits the application.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Me.Close()

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closed

MsgBox("Closed")

End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing

MsgBox("Closing")

End Sub

I have created a test form, and added code as you described, but it works
fine. I think maybe you can create a new form to test it, and if it works
fine, compare the code in the old form with that of the new form to see
where the problem is.
