Hi Cindy,

I usually send the reports, but sometimes (like today) I'm working on something that crashes frequently. I find that when I'm cleaning up classes, hiding properties and methods and such, VFP sometimes reacts poorly and gives a fatal error. Too bad there isn't a quick way to turn this feature on and off easily.

>Rich, To go a little further with what Sergey said, this feature is in Office XP and Windows XP. Windows XP allows you to turn it all off or enable/disable a list of programs.
