Hi all,

I have an app that runs on a server and I need it to autoshutdown each night. It *mostly* works but sometimes chokes on trying to shut down so I wonder if I have the code in the right order or right place:

The app has one form and on that form I have a timer that fires every 15 seconds.

In the timer's .timer() method, this code checks the time and tries to shut down after 11 pm:
IF VAL(LEFT(TIME(),2)) >= 23

   * release this form and then try to clear the read
  ON ERROR
  THISFORM .Release()

   ON SHUTDOWN
   CLEAR EVENTS
   
ENDIF
Questions:

1) is the order correct on the above commands?
2) should this code be in some method of the form itself?
3) it does not seem like I need a QUIT most of the time - would this be better?

Thanks,

Albert Gostick
