Hi James,

I found that out right away. I got into an endless loop when trying to close the FoxPro window. Making ON SHUTDOWN my first line of code solved it. Also, if you leave the program running and then try to shut down Windows, the FoxPro shutdown routine will trigger at that time, forcing the user to terminate the program properly. I use a messagebox with a Yes or No prompt. Selecting No will stop Windows from shutting down because the app continues to run. I like that feature!

Thanks to all,

Allen
