Hi Al,

Thanks for your information.

>>A desktop VFP9 program (not a service) is running on the Windows XP or Server 2003 console. If a user logs in remotely and captures the console via a Windows Remote Desktop, is there any code to detect such a remote login?

In this case any desktop VFP9 app in the console session would be forcibly closed. It might be possible to hook the "force close" event and record that it happened. Or, maybe use ON SHUTDOWN - you'd have to experiment.
