>Hi all,

>I am using a ON Shutdown procedure to release all active forms, close all data tables, clean up and quit when the user clicks on the main screen close button, or when Windows is shutting down, etc. Most forms are modeless and the on shutdown procedure works as expected until I have a modal form, browse window, or messagebox on the screen as the active window. If this is the case, my app hangs ON SHUTDOWN. I am using VFP6 SP5.

It appears that the active window is _screen.forms(1) so I try releasing _screen.forms(1) until formcount = 0. This must be causing a dangling reference or somthing, because when the active form is modal, _screen.forms(1) seems to be the reference to the modal form, but _screen.forms(1).release does not release it.

Did you try to suspend program at that point an use Debugger to investigate the problem?
