You're right, this is an ugly one...it apparently doesn't like the combo drop-down being active. I had some luck with this, though...issue a KEYBOARD 27 (Escape) or maybe even some other key prior to the THISFORM.Release(). This will deactivate the dropdown prior to release.

Just a workaround, not a solution...

Hello everyone,

>We are having a problem in one of our projects being developed using VFP 6 SP3. The form(s) in question have among other controls a timer and a dropdown combo box on it. What we want to happen is when a time period expires, the timer control issues a THISFORM.RELEASE to close the form. However, we have found that when

Under the above three conditions, a couple of things are happening. Most of the time, focus simply returns to the form rather than it closing. Other times we get the dreaded C0000005 error.
