Hi Beth,

I have a very similar routine in my application. But it never before closed my Project windows, just forms. I guess somehow I issued (probably in the command window) something like Clear All. Would this command close all my project windows?

Then, sometimes later, when I opened my VFP 9, I noticed that all of the projects were gone. Typically when I open VFP 9 I see almost all of my project windows (about a dozen of them). So now I am going to each home directory of each project and issuing command MODIFY PROJ ? and opening projects.
