What exactly happens when VFP crashes? Does it just freeze or is there an error message? Is it possible that something in your code is causing an infinite loop?

Keep in mind that SECONDS() won't reset at midnight. It's really the number of seconds since midnight the day you loaded VFP. Just a thought...
