Hi Clarissa,

If you want "remote" applications to exit gracefully, it must be done within: use Timer control to periodically check for some DB change, or file existance (too much network traffic) or use WinSocket control - anyway, applications must be aware that it's time for shutdown and to save updates, close open tables and quit. Otherwise, you can use some external commands (like KILL.EXE on NT) but the results are unpredictable.

Well, that's the general idea.
