>Looks like an attempt to regularly close the forms and give them a chance to exit elegantly - no unsaved buffers, no unresolved validations, give the user a chance to click yes on a few buttons. Note that it returns .f. if at least one form's .queryUnload() returns .f. - so if the code in the form returns a „can't close now, look at this!“, then it shouldn't quit in the first place.

From your message it appears that the above code is not a must I just want to enclose it in TRY/CATCH And if the TRY/CATCH fails, I wont worry about it.
Thank you.
