>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.

Well, for me, I only start it, and for most of the times, I can't close it minutes after.
