Ok, let me get this straight, actually let me tell you what I have. First I have a main.prg that looks like this:

* main.prg
on shutdown do myshutdown
do form LOGON
read event
on shutdown

my shutdown looks like this:

*myshutdown
clos all
clea all
capslock(.f.)
clear events
quit

my cmdbutton on LOGON form:

*cmd_do_admin
.hide
do form frm_admin
.cmdcancel.click()

my cmdquitbutton on LOGON form:

thisform.release()
_screen.release()
clea event



Ok, my startup form is LOGON (This form has timers that fire) and the showwindow is "As Top-Level Form". LOGON form also calls another form which is In Top-Level Form called FRM_ADMIN. If I use LOGON form "As Top-Level Form" then sometimes my whole application terminates (on first try anyway). If I use LOGON form "In Top-Level Form" then when I quit my FRM_ADMIN (the cmdquit contains thisform.release()) the main vfp window doesn't termiate along with application. How would I have the code in my main.prg for two TL's? Where would I have the other Read Event (there is one already in my main.prg)? How would I start my second TL? Do I leave any forms "As Top-Level Form"? I know I ask to many questions but basically all I want is to leave my LOGON form in "In Top-Level Form" so that my program won't terminate abruptly, but the catch is my main vfp window won't close with quit button. Thanks for replying bruce.
