>I have run into a problem that I have never encountered before. Typically, if I want to cancel the instantiation of a form for whatever reason (based on conditions), I check for a condition in the form's init method, then if it fails, clear events (if it is a single form app) and return .f.. However, for some reason in my current small single form app, when I cancel events and return .f., the form closes, but I am returned to the vfp screen with no form. If I turn on the debugger, I am sitting at the read events command just below where I called my form, even if I issued a clear events before the return .f. in the form. Any ideas? I must have overlooked something here somehow.

Hi Tracy,

I think the problem here is that the CLEAR EVENTS is actually being run before the READ EVENTS. Which means that it does nothing.

If your Form is Modal, then that is definetly the case, as execution of your main program will be suspended while your form runs.

As you do have single form app, then you could forget the READ EVENTS/CLEAR EVENTS altogether. Just DO FORM and the app will quit whenever you RELEASE your form.

Cetins suggestion will also do the trick.
