Thanks for the support. I removed all code I generally use for shutdown except for a "release all" after the oApp.runapp('form')in the main.prg and that took care of that environment.

On another exe, it will not shut down. The title bar just flashes, like its in a loop. I put 2 "display memory to file" after the read events in the main.prg.

display memory to file "Q:\GenServ\TestPrintShop\launch1VAR" noconsole
RELEASE oAbout,ga__AppList
CLOSE DATABASES ALL
RELEASE ALL
display memory to file "Q:\GenServ\TestPrintShop\launch2VAR" noconsole
QUIT

All varibles are destroyed except system public variables.
What can keep the exe from closing?

I FIXED IT. I found additional "close all clear all" in a close button class that was messing with the environment, even though it never showed in any memory variable list. Thanks to those that tried.
