One of the main reason I used the ups, if the company gets a power surge and it knocks the user out of the app vfp will not clean up it's temp files and having alot of temp files can make your app do strange things. One of things you might want to do, is to see if there are any temp files existing. If you have not redirect the temp file they would be in the windows\temp dir with the file ext *.tmp. Clients running my app I redirect my temp files to a folder within my distribution called AppTemp. This is the first thing I check when a client calls us with strange things happen. If the program not runinng and there are temp files there then something happen on there in like a power surge, computer rebooted, etc. I don't like the way vfp does it's house keeping. I am sure there are people on UT that can give you a good way to check for temp files and keep it clean. You might want to post something on temp files.
