DoCmd.Quit vs. Application.Quit

[MikeC]

Can anyone tell me whether there is a functional difference between:

DoCmd.Quit

and

Application.Quit

The online help for "Quit Method" recommends use of the Application object
over the DoCmd object when using this method. The help also states that the
Quit method of the DoCmd object was added to provide backward compatibility
for running the Quit action in Visual Basic code in Microsoft Access 95, but
offers no further explanation.

I really don't have a preference for one over the other, but I would like to
know whether there are any subtle differences in behavior.

Go to groups.google.com, and run the advanced search on groups:
comp.databases.ms-access, microsoft.public.access.*

I think you will find references to problems with Application.Quit in some
versions, whereas DoCmd.Quit did not have the same issues.

Thanks. That helps.
