>Occasionally I am unable to QUIT FoxPro. I have checked to be sure all procedures are canceled and all files are closed. I click on File/Exit and type in QUIT--it won't quit. The only way to terminate is with the 3-finger salute, which Win95 processes OK, but this is not the preferred method for quitting.

I'd try Edward Pickman's solution first, but, if you use certain WinAPIs, you may not be able to QUIT cleanly (I've run into this a few times.) There is a solution, but it's a bit ugly - it involves replacing all occurances of QUIT or CANCEL in the compiled application with calls to the following piece of code, which invokes the Win32 API ExitProcess():
CLEAR EVENTS
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
FLUSH
DECLARE ExitProcess IN Win32API INTEGER nExitCode
=ExitProcess(0)
About the only good thing about this change is that ExitProcess() can return a value other than 0 to the operating system when VFP shuts down, making error-level controlled interfaces easier.
