>Is it possible to run several processes in VFP 5.0 without allowing them to "freeze" each other. For example, I made a simple modeless form with timer, showing current system time. Started 10 copies of a form. All of them were running OK. But when I tried to issue SELECT * command in background, all timers stopped until SELECT wasn't finished.

No, FoxPro is single threaded. You could launch seperate executables that follow some convention (files, dde, etc.) for sharing the data.
