Matthew,

Your are getting the behavior you are because you are clearing the events before you have set up the read events. Try something like this;

PRIVATE llStrartApp

DO Form SetUp

IF llSTartApp
   READ EVENTS
ENDIF

* Your clean up code here

In the Init of your setup form, if you want the app started then set llStartApp to .T. otherwise leave it at .F. To kill the stup form simply return .F. from the Init.
