>I am new to VFP 6.0. I looked at VFP 3.0 and found it confusing. I write in Clipper S87 (Still!). I understand objects etc. My problem is that I cannot create a very simple executable that works properly. My initial attempts displayed on the screen for a second and then disappeared. My last attempts have worked until I quit and then I could not shut the window down. I get the "VFP cannot shut down message". All I really need is a very simple framwork of an opening screen a menu and how to close. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Advice on a good book would also help. I have the MS VFP 6.0 reference books but I need a book to tell me how to do things with objects not just what their properties and methods are.

This is the simplest application structure:
***Main.Prg
Do Header && some setting here
Do Form MyTopForm && add CLEAR EVENTS to form.unload event
READ EVENTS
Return
