[AccessD] Setting objects to nothing

I have a function that can use up to 14 recordsets but may use as few as
three depending upon which case is selected.So I typically go 
   For x = 1 To y
        If Not (rs(x) Is Nothing) Then rs(x).Close: Set rs(x) = Nothing
   Next x
where y is the number of recordsets I actually opened. The problem is I have
an Excel instance that refuses to die and the only thing I can figure is
some dimensioned objects I never use still exist.

Strictly speaking, no you don't have to unless you use Set to
instantiate the object.  I think a better question would be why all
those objects are being dimmed if they aren't going to be used.

I always do.  Not sure if you have to if you did not use it.

if an object is dimmed but not used (ie set) must it still be set to
nothing when cleaning up? Ex dim rs(1 to 14) as recordset where only 5
recorsets are used in a given run. Jim Hale
