Hello Fox Gang!

Today's question.....

How to shutdown an app using a timer.

Given I have an app, and I have a timer running in the base application form.

The timer, when it fires, looks for a textfile in the root folder. If the file is there, it causes the app to begin to shutdown....

Here is the relevant code...

IF timetoshutdown
WAIT CLEAR
THISFORM.RELEASE()
ENDIF

But, since there may be many forms on the screen at this time (someone may have left the app running when they went home)... I would rather have a shutdown routine instead of just THISFORM.RELEASE().

Any ideas of a shutdown routine? I am assuming it would have to be able to drill down into the forms to shut them all down???

Thanks!
Tommy
