>I have a monitor that runs multiple VFP applications. These apps transfer and process data across remote servers. The monitor uses WSH’s oshell.run to launch the VFP app’s. My problem is when each VFP application terminates it takes the W2k server considerable time to release the application and free resources. I’ve noticed that when other VFP apps are executing certain tasks (such as returning data from remote source) it prevents the terminated apps from being released.

You can also try to limit amount of memory VFP is using for the buffers. See SYS(3050) function and faq#8125.
