>I have small menu application that runs fine in vfp 3.0, but when I make an executable out of it, you see the menu (a form) start to come up, but then FoxPro closes out everything with no error messages. Hmmmm.....Any ideas???

You need a READ EVENTS command after you issue your DO MENU or after whatever you do to start the app. This also means you need a CLEAR EVENTS to terminate the app. I put my CLEAR EVENTS as the command in the EXIT menu option of my FILE menu pad.
