>Am I the only one having a problem to close VFP on Windows XP Pro? If VFP has been started since a while, I can never close it. I can but the interface remains there and I have to force a close to kill the application.

Hi Michel. If its any consolation I have experienced this too. I do not know how to repeat it but it has happened several times. VFP8 just appears to hang and only end-task stops it. I have noticed it happen several times when I had been busy packing/reindexing a largish file with many indexes residing on a W2K server and I am running on XP. However, I cannot create a repro.
