>GUITHREAD is a VFP app. It uses multiple separate processes to handle multi-threading. However, VFP still has limitations when even multiple processes are in use due to the way it uses its own DLLs. These cause issues where sometimes if one app crashes (in a particular way) it will cause the other non-crashed versions of VFP apps to also simultaneously crash.

>I am only stating that VFP is not a good tool for multi-threading. It is a fine tool in all regards, including many multi-threading apps. But for high-powered multi-threading (like what you're doing spawning 1700+ jobs per minute) ... it really wasn't designed for that.

spawning a job every 28+ jobs/sec is a lousy design in almost any language and - unless very specific requirements forbid it - just cries for a poolmanager. Just for starters ;-)
