>Oh- you mean the action is delayed until after the form is loaded?
Nope. While the form is loading, and you clicked the 'X' button, the close event fires with a little delay but causing the form load unsuccessful.

>if so, then it sounds like you are just lacking the proper cleanup code. After your CLEAR EVENTS or in your ON SHUTDOWN routine, do you have code that closes all forms and such?

Yeah. Actually, we don't have problem with clean-up codes on the ExitProc procedure, not until that incident happened.
