>I've had something similar in VFP7, but it was a .desktop=.t. app (not that it makes it much different, though), and I think my reasons for the .exe being stuck were not of the same kind, but in the same vain - the form would go invisible, but wouldn't release. Don't really remember why, that was two years ago.

Thanks. I am a heavy user of "if version(2) = 2" <g>
