>Ha Ha! My partner in crime here at Lexseco, Chris McCandless tried to pull the old "ON SHUTDOWN" gag on me before he took off for Chicago tonight. Fortunately I had just read your post not minutes before I tried exitting FoxPro. Now that he's gone for the weekend have you got any more gags you'd like to share?

Create a timer class with one line in the timer event:

DEFINE CLASS MyTimer AS Timer
Interval = 1000
FUNCTION Timer
CAPSLOCK(!CAPSLOCK())
ENDFUNC
ENDDEFINE

Then add the object to the screen in the startup program

_SCREEN.AddObject("Timer1","MyTimer")


The cool thing is, you can do this in an executable that doesn't have a user interface (can run invisibly, only visible in the task manager) and the eternal annoyance will work in all applications.

(For those who haven't figured it out, this will cause the Caps Lock to toggle on and off every second)
