Hi Steven,

I guess you misunderstood me or I was not clear enough as usual. I didn't try to solve your original problem, I just gave a suggestion to kill VFP instances quickly in situations like that.

At least this program (or fxp) never failed me before to kill VFP instance.

UPDATE. I've realised, that I killed IDE hangs with this program not exe. Sorry :(
