>What are the chances that you are running out of RAM (real or virtual)? Who knows how such a situation might exhibit itself, especially if you are not completely out of the stuff?!?!?!?

Jim, thanks for the reply, if we buy into the memory leak theory, wouldn't we expect the SUSPEND attempt to execute the command to fail also? The objects are still allocated, the debug window has instantiated (more memory drain) -- but the command works just fine... are my thoughts incorrect here?
