>I have, Fabio, and it is good enough to never use the debugger, but I have this one problem I just can't trace. It is as tho the program 'vanishes', and disappears, yet in the task manager you can still see it, and have to 'end task' to close it. My fault finding ways can't find it, it works perfectly in the IDE with DO xyz.exe, and yet misbehaves as a regular exe. Driving me nuts!

Sounds like you're missing READ EVENTS in your main program and also your form can be started minimized. What is the WindowsType of your main form? Are you running in screen and have _screen=off in your config file?
