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.

That's what I'm doing now, but it means checking for a specific Program-Name, and I don't like that. If he changes which program has the "Read Events" in it, the Error-Handler quits working right.
I'm going to change it so that it checks Prog(1) to see if it's an Object or not. I think I can safely assume that prog(1) WILL NOT be an object if there is a "Read Events" in effectl. If prog(1) is an object then the Error-Handler will "CANCEL", if not "RETURN TO MASTER".

Can you think of a way that prog(1) WILL BE an object with "Read Events" in it? The only way I can think of is :

MAIN.PRG
  Public oApp
  oApp = CreateObject('cusApp')
  _Shell = 'oApp.Read_Events()'

  Define cusApp as Custom
    Procedure Read_Events
      Read Events
    End Proc
  End Define

and I can't imagine anyone setting up an app like that.

Thanks.
