Hi,

Hi, Thank for your advise and interest. The looping inside my clipper code is actually checking of keyboard input and running other clipper code. I don't think they are actually events handle in clipper. if I add them inside, it actually 'halt' my vfp until I cannot access the menu at all. I think of taking out all the looping code and restructured the whole program. What is the best wwy or suggestions to do that. Thank you.

>The looping you describe sounds like an event handler loop. In clipper you need one, in VFP you don't. IN VFP the READ EVENTS does the same thing your loop does. It halts the system so that the user can interact with the menus and forms.
