IOW, you need a framework that keeps track of everything that occurs in the app so it can shut down whatever is running. There are some public domain frameworks available, check the libraries here. There are also some commercial frameworks that sell for around 400-500 dollars. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for.

hmmm...
seems a retro step to me. Why can't we just (still) say 'close any windows, clear any forms,shut down anything thats open, clear any variables from memory,shut any open databases, clear the program buffer etc etc and goodnight!'? What changes have taken place in VFP which prevent what was perfectly possible in 2.6?
