I often find it confusing as to when it is appropriate to use:
rs.Close
opposed to
Set rs = Nothing
I can understand needing to close a connection to a source, but should I be using both when the variable falls out of scope?
Can I just set the variable to Nothing in order to skip the step of Closing the connection? Would this be considered a bad practice?
By using the “Close” method you are closing the connection to the database but is still in the memory where you can open again using the “Open” method.
Setting the recordset to “Nothing” on the other hand releases the object completely from the memory.
