Hi there
I've got two different programs (VFP6, SP3) which share the same problem. Both programs are designed to run over a long time (>24 hours) and both programs are stopping after some time, finish without a trace and leave the server with no free resources.
The first program has its code in the timer-event and does the following:

Starts (optional) a DOS- or Windows-based application (With run or shellexecute)
Scans a directory for one ore more files
Transforms these files to a new file and sends it to a ftp-server (with wininet functions)

The second program takes a big dbf-file and generates some a database for bibliographical research.
In this program, in contrary to the first, no external dll's are used and no
objects are created.

After approx. 20-24 hours, program 1 leaves the VFP-screen, but the application-window has disappeared, program 2 is completely gone without a trace. In both cases, there are no free resources left.

Has anybody got some hints for me?

Thanks in advance

Thomas
