>Hello All,
>I'm getting a weird effect that I would greatly appreciate some input on. I have a VFP5 application that creates a table from an SDF file, manipulates the data in a few of the fields. I then close donw the table and send control over to another non-microsoft application for use. In the meanwhile, I have VFP sitting inside a loop trying to open the table ('USE').

In the meantime, the screen saver has kicked in by now. When I come in in the morning and until I actually touch the mouse to see what's going on, only at that point will the code continue on that is VFP retakes control and continues wroking.

There is a bad news for you if you are using Win95 OSR-2.
According to our hardware supporter message, he state that the OS will hang if work over 10 hours. 2nd thing, the most possible hang reason will due with screen saver and wallpaper setting.

In case the screen saver start at even hour, even minute, even second.
there may possibly hang!
We need to ask Microsoft for more details on hang reason(s) or cases!

So, if possible, ask user to disable the screen saver if possible or using
register API function to clean out the screen saver setting when start your application!

For more detail on hang system, better to ask some hardware saler to know more!
