>I have an foxpro exe that runs from a shortcut normally. If it is run with a certain parameter from the command line (via "Scheduled Tasks") it should start up, do some processing in the form.init then exit. I have found that you cannot call thisform.release in the init but quit works. If quit is in the form.init will it fire the form.unload method?

You might want to try NODEFAULT before RETURN, in Init method.

PROCEDURE Form.Init
* Processing here
NODEFAULT
RETURN
