>I cannot close VFP either, for VFP 8 or 9 Beta. What is going on? Why won't this close? I am using Windows 2000 Server as my workstation.

I don't know. So far, from various threads related to that, it doesn't seem to be related to the OS, the SP or to a specific factor. That's why I am thinking something new occured since the version 8 and probably still present on version 9. I don't think that is related to a specific code as even without running any application, I still get this behavior if VFP has been running for at least 5 minutes.
