A and B hold references to C. Even when set to nothing, the variable
continues to exist. Setting A or B to nothing does nothing to the things
referenced in its collection. Setting C to nothing does nothing to the
references held within the A and B collections. There is no parent-child
relationship as I understand your description.

Hi Everybody

I would like to check something out that I'm a little wooly on. I
have a project, and when finishing, the code sets the collection
objects and their contents to Nothing. My query is this; if there are
two class collections, A and B, and a number of objects {C} which can
belong to A, B, or A and B, is there a proper order for setting to
Nothing A, B, and {C} ? The reason for my wooly headedness is that I
am not entirely certain what constitutes a Parent-Child cross-
referenced association, and therefore what to do in that case. I'm
half certain this isn't such a case, but I don't really know.

If you can offer me some advice, ideally by way of an exmple, I would
appreciate it.
