Nancy,
Thanks for responding. That would be a great idea if I was just concerned with the messagebox of VFP. Dialogs are coming up due to permission problems with SQL etc, so different kinds of dialogs.
Have you heard about anything that interrupts a specified object's process in VFP and then lets you return to the creator of the object?
>>Given that I have an object A and have called a method of it that creates an instance of an object B and calls a method of it, how can I return from an inadvertent dialog that pops up forever with no human intervention?
