When I remove the WAIT command, the application flashes on the screen for a second and then vanishes. Why is this? Am I missing some thing? It seems like the READ EVENTS is the culprit. This code works fine (with the WAIT) if I run it outside my application, that is as an PRG instead of EXE.


To tell you the truth I have not used his code yet so I don't know. Hopefully one of the people who have used his code will see this message.
