Fred,

You need CLEAR EVENTS as well as clearing the ON SHUTDOWN handler.

In general:

* main.prg
on shutdown EnditAll()
do yourmenu.mpr
do form ...
read events

on shutdown
return

* EndItAll
function EnditAll

* close down any active forms
for i = 1 to _screen.FormCount
   if ( _screen.Forms[1].QueryUnload() )
      _screen.Forms[1].Release()
   endif
endfor
clear events
return

>I have a program that I am creating, a single form with multiple pageframes as a top level form and it runs fine, but when I quit the program the executable stays loaded in memory and the only way to unload it is with task manager. This prevents me from compiling any changes because the executable is locked until I end the process manually. I am using VP 6.0 under Windows 2000. I have clear reads in both the exit.click event and the main.prg after the read events.
