>>I have tested this. The ON SHUTDOWN launches a tiny program with a messagebox. Via the Task Manager the messagebox displays AND the option is given to kill anyway. I think that shows at least some respect. However, The Taskkill tool does not at all display the messagebox. It immediately kills vfp.

Must we be happy with such a harsh killer? Tables may become 'corrupted'. I have corrupted here in quotes because I don't think that tables will get wrong headerinfo, but because they may loose their integrity when VFP was in the middle of some process like a programmed loop.
