>Surely, you right. I meant the quickest way from VFP programmer standpoint (you don't need to go outside VFP). By the way I'm not sure about running out of memory. Actually I have system with couple VFP/VB executables running concurrently and memory is OK even on low-end (16M) workstations.

Lucky you you have 16 megs all around. :)

When I was at the University, I had implemented a mecanism like your suggestion and everytime the user was starting the app a second time, he was running out of memory before FoxPro was loaded a second time.
