Hi Mike,

I use VFP 6 SP5 in my apps and the close option IS enabled on the task bar when minimized and it will close the app properly by right click on the taskbar icon and select close from the menu, (Just like Excel and Word). So therefore, I would say NO you should not have to upgrade to VFP7 to do this.

The task bar menu option "Close" is always disabled on MODAL forms whether minimized or not. Is your main form or the active form a MODAL form? If this is the case, try to design your forms to be modeless (WindowType = 0) and use read events in your main procedure file to keep your application alive after you have called your main form. Also make sure that _screen.closable = .t. and your forms are set to Closable = .t.

HTH
