>This problem has bothered me for several years. For some reason I cannot make a double-click work in the vfp 5.0 IDE.
>Whenever I try to close a form or anything else I'm working on I have to click once (for the menu) and then click close.
>I have went through 3 computers in that time and they all work the same way. Anyone know what's going on?

I don't know what you mean by "double click to close". All you have to do click the "X" in the upper right corner of the designer and it will close. If there are any unsaved changes, you'll get a dialog box prompting you to Save your changes.
