>I have a client who frequently does his own "programming" in VFP. He usually has a "Read Events" in effect so his employees don't have a command window, but he works on a separate terminal without a "Read Events". He never seems to do things the same way twice, so I've been unable to set up any kind of flag that lets me know that it's him that is the user.

I've thought about checking "WVISIBLE('Command')", but sometimes he manages to get a command window showing even though the "READ EVENTS" is in effect.

Maybe you can check program calling stack?
