Since I have upgraded my PC to Win2k, I now finds that I don't have any more instances of VFP 7 stuck in memory as I used to have under Win ME. By that, I mean, that even if no VFP instance was showing in the task bar, some were still residing in memory. Probably, this was due to not being closed properly. With Win2k, this has dissappeared. At least, after two weeks, I didn't get one so far.
