Is there any way to force DockingPane to release the reference it has to a CommandBars object?

The problem is that a VB6 ActiveX control terminates differently to a normal application, so if the control is not shutdown cleanly you get severe memory leaks. It also closes forms differently so DockingPane never seems to detect it is time to shut down.

I just spent a day bashing my head against the wall; as soon as I put the "SetCommandBars" line in my application it no longer shut down cleanly. But I couldn't get it to happen in a separate test app.

I finally worked it out - if you initialise CommandBars before DockingPane has a reference to it then bad things happen and it never terminates. I've attached a sample to show what I mean:
2004-11-29_193325_never_terminates.zip

Load the project into VB, hit run and then load the HTML file in IE (ignoring the security warning). Once you get it loaded, try closing it - notice the "terminated" output does not appear unless you move the SetCommandBars line.
