>>Issuing a CloseHandle() with no other process holding an event handle makes the event object disappear, regardless of the state. If you forget to CloseHandle, issuing a CLOSE ALL, or QUITting VFP releases the handle and makes the event go away. I'm actually leveraging the CreateEvent() behavior rather than the Event itself; the existance of the Event serves as an indication that someone else already is running, and is still running.
