(whew!) but I went through the whole Error 41, Memo missing or invalid, copy and restore, routine.

I haven't looked into this at all. If you do find one that asks Windows for a graceful shutdown, and you're using VFP 9, then you can use the new Windows version of BindEvents to have VFP shutdown properly when Windows shuts down.
