Is there anyway to terminate the whole program through cmdQuit or to elimate the foxpro window in the background upon which my application stays on. It seems there are 2 foxpro windows present, my application window with forms, and the visual foxpro window which cannot terminate. Maybe I am just putting the commands in wrong place. Thanks for your help

Hi Nick,

There is no need to issue ON SHUTDOWN twice, and ON SHUTDOWN CLEAR actually does nothing related to quitting application.
One of the simple ways of quitting your app by pressing the button on the form,
or X button on the VFP window:

Add MYSHUTDOWN.PRG to your project

** MYSHUTDOWN.PRG**
close all
clear all
clear events
quit
*******

* Main.prg
on shutdown do myShutdown
do form frmbudget
read events
********

* frmBudget.ExitButton.Click()
clear events
thisform.release()
*********
HTH,
Nick
