To all,

I've deployed a couple of small EXEs on a Win XP machine. Here's the Main.prg:

*********************************************************************
* NOTE: Adding a config.fpw with "SCREEN = OFF" makes this redundant.
_SCREEN.Visible = .F.

SET DELETED ON

SET DEFAULT TO ADDBS(JUSTPATH(SUBSTR(SYS(16), AT(":", SYS(16) )-1)))

DO FORM frmMyApp.scx

ON SHUTDOWN QUIT

READ EVENTS

*********************************************************************

The ON SHUTDOWN should end the EXE and pull it from system memory, but it doesn't. I first noticed this when I tried to rename the EXE and the OS wouldn't let me. I inspected Windows Task Manager and sure enough the bugger was still in memory. I killed it with Task Manager, but I need to know how to well and truely end the app.

TIA,
Thom C.
