Memory Management Issue in VB.NET

[satcomengineer]

I am encountering ExecutionEngineException and Null ReferenceException errors when opening a new form immediately after closing another form. The new form appears not to have enough memory to open. I have tried using Dispose on the closing form, but it has not helped. Anyone have any suggestions?

This shouldn't be a problem with just a form object. I would think that it is because of a component or some other code behind that form. Forms themselves really don't take that much memory. Are you using ShowDialog to show forms? Are you calling Dispose on anny form that you use ShowDialog to show? If not, you're actually not releasing these forms and they are taking up memory and, more importantly, handles. If you run the system handle pool into the ground, you can get memory errors.
