But should'nt the CLEAR ALL in the MyShutdown procedure take care of any unreleased objects? As I understand it releasing all memory varable references to an object destroys the object, correct? The MyShutdown procedure now looks like this:
PROCEDURE MyShutdown
CLEAR EVENTS
CLEAR ALL
CLOSE ALL
QUIT
ENDPROC
Anyway, I tried puting a messagebox('shutdown procedure') as the first line in the MyShutdown procedure but it never fired so now I think something is preventing the procedure from executing. Any ideas what could cause that? I copied the procedure to a prg by the same name but that did'nt help. One other thing to clearify my original post, if the X button is selected the application screen goes away and task manager does not show it runing but it leaves files open. Excuse me I have to reboot now.
