>>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?
