>>Sorry about that! My FoxPro brain cell was being borrowed for lunch! SYS(3) does give you a unique file name - I use SYS(2003) instead as you suggested. At least you got there. As for the 'quit', change the call to 'cancel' instead. Again, you may need to play with 'clear events','release form', etc to find alternatives but hopefully cancel should do it. I hope I got the right brain cell back!

Yes, it will - it will 'cancel' the program/form/whatever. Then there is nothing else for FoxPro to do, so it returns control to the caller (explorer?).
