Memory Issue

I am developing a application and I think I have a memory
leak, but I am not sure.

TESTS:

1: I open and close a edit window I have work on for 2
weeks the memory grows by 6MB
2: I open and close the same edit window with no code, no
data just controls and the memory grows by 6MB
3: I create a brand new form with a couple of random
controls and no code and I open and close it the using the
same SUB, memory does not increase at all.

Something seems to be wrong with my window however I have
no idea what. Could someone give me some insight into why
this would be happening.

I really do not want to cut and paste all my code and
controls into another window just to find out I still have
the same problem.

Post some code. Otherwise anything anyone says will probably be a guess.

You can use a profiler:
