I have a VB.NET program that is going to run on a server every 15 minutes.
When it finishes I end up with a blank form sitting on the screen. How do I
get it to close automatically?

How is the form launched? Are you starting from a Sub Main or is the form
the startup object?

This will close the form.
Form.Close()

Hello Chris, Master of All Things Insignificant,

Technically, everything starts from Sub Main.

As you said, you can use form.Close, or the more brutal Application.Exit.
Environment.Exit also lets you bail out of an application with a return code.

Just a quick point. How is a winform application going to run on the
server when no one is logged in? Is a user typically logged in on the
server?

Think about using a service instead.
