Thanks. Tried that (I copied that loop code from somewhere, and have used it in all my apps, actually).

Same effect. I must not be getting out of MainForm to execute the Read Events....will keep plugging away...any other ideas?

And why would this effect the exe from the desktop and not from w/in VFP?

This is a MAJOR problem, as I'm supposed to install next week!
