Thanks Cathy,
I hope to try out your code that produces the C5 crash this weekend.

I would really like to know if all these crashes are a result of VFP not using standard Windows controls. I don't know much about this, but I thought I heard at one time that VFP's GUI, etc, is proprietary and not standard like other Windows apps. Is this true?? If so, is this why VFP can be so unstable at times?? It is sooooo sad to be losing so much confidence in such a wonderful application. The last thing I want to do is have to abandon VFP because of this.

What is the solution to this? Please, anyone from Microsoft, respond and help me regain my confidence in VFP.
