You need to realize that using EWX_FORCE is about the best method to guarentee data loss on a system, since any process that does not terminate in response to the standard Windows shutdown message within a period of time gets killed by TerminateProcess(), and the user will not be given a chance to abort the shutdown. If you're worried about FOXUSER.DBF, make certain that you've closed it (SET RESOURCE OFF. followed by FLUSH) well before issuing the ExitWindowsEx() call.
