>I have done this kind of quick-and-dirty 1-form util. Definitely have at least ON SHUTDOWN CLEAR EVENTS command before you DO anything. If you screwed up the form, you have no way of quitting VFP if you have issued a READ EVENTS. You get the Can Not Quit VFP mesage box. The only way out [Win9x] is Ctrl-Alt-Del and End Task a bunch of times until Win will actually kill it. Of course, this is not the voices of experience you are hearing! :]

Good point, Mark. I've got a shell for a start up program that each application uses. While I don't have ON SHUTDOWN CLEAR EVENTS, I do have a reference to the the program to execute, which includes a CLEAR EVENTS.
