Doug,

>Oh sure, but the question is how to track the shut down. MSKB#Q257541 shows how to use the WScript.Shell's LogEvent method from within VFP, but I don't know if it tracks the shutdown. Be a snap in VBScript to implement if it can.

I see this event in the NT4 event log: Event = 6006 Details = The Event log service was stopped. I think one could assume that the event log service starts at boot and ends at Shutdown.
