I'd be afraid of racing powerdown...

>>>I think Thomas is right, what you're seeing is probably being caused by sleep or hibernation rather than lock (i.e. WindowsLogoKey-L).

>>>If a workstation is locked for an extended period then it may sleep or hibernate if so configured. Until those thresholds are reached, running programs behave normally except they receive no keyboard or mouse inputs.

>>>As a workaround you could specify your app's inactivity timeout to be shorter than the workstation's sleep/hibernate timeout.

>>>>>>I have a routine that allows closing a VFP 9 application remotely. Basically, when a flag file is present on the server, the timer code (in the VFP 9 application) closes all forms and then closes the application. It works except when a user's PC is locked. At least this is what I found out yesterday with one user.
