Do you need to close a Server.CreateObject ?
I am doing a bit of ASP and I have created a new object, for example:

set sourceDOM=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

When I am done with the code do I need to worry about killing or closing this object? If so, how?

Thanks,

Cul

You always want to close & kill your objects/connections.
Code:
sourceDOM.close
set sourceDOM=nothing

The object should be destroyed by asp automatically, but if for some reason that doesn't happen, you end up with an "orphaned" object in memory (aka "memory leak").

Close and destroy what you create and open is good programming style.
