Emmanuel,
Thanks for your code.
My thoughts are this: I have a vb on error routine which sets mapinfo to
nothing if needed. I also have an object which is set to
mapinfo.mbapplications. This .mbx has a remotemsghandler to which I pass
strings and accomplish tasks that are too complex for mapinfo.do.
If the MapBasic program encounters an error, it is directed to an onerror
routine which creates a log file and then ends. But this causes the vb
program to crash because it has lost the connection with the .mbx object
without first going to its on error routine to set mapinfo to nothing. I
have found while the .mbx may have crashed that the vb mapinfo object may
still exist and takes me to the problem of terminating this object at the
next run.

Just set the object to nothing
ex:
Public Sub ShutdownMapInfoConnection()
'* first, if the MapInfo object exists, we must reset its callback
object
'* to a null object ( the VB keyword "Nothing" ), otherwise the VB
app will
'* not exit because the reference count on this object will still be
greater
'* than 0.
If Not (MapInfo Is Nothing) Then
MapInfo.SetCallback Nothing
End If
'Set la valeur de l'objet Mapinfo a nothing
Set MapInfo = Nothing
End Sub
