I want to continue to give users the option (which I've always provided in my FP2.6 applications,) to quit at any time with a simple hotkey combination (usually CTRL+Q). and although this 'works' in VFP, I find that, in some circumstances, the system complains that x or y can't be accessed or completed or whatever. The workarounds required to get it to do what was so simple in previous versions are ludicrous. I have to 'hide' windows, make sure I issue commands in a certain order, etc etc. My closedown routine closes everything, clears events and then issues a cancel command and still comes back with errors. What am I missing? How can I just say, 'whatever is happening, stop, (optionally) save any changes and get the hell outahere!'?
