>I need some way to find out when a network (esp. Win95, NetBeui) user of my VFP .exe dose not exit properly (power-outage, GP fault, etc.) so that I know the next time another user logs on to "clean-up the tables" (pack/reindex/append to new structure).

You can create a small file with something unique (like Sys(0)) to each user, and check, when you enter if the file exists. Of course, remove it upon exit...
