Hi Michael,

It looks like a bug to me. BTW, tooltip window isn't released after tooltip goes away and even after your progam isn't running anymore.

? WEXIST( "ToolTip Test" )  && returns .T.

>Myself and my boss found unusual tool bar behaviour when we recompiled one of our projects in VFP9. We use the WEXIST function to see if a tool bar has been closed or not, and the tool tip text on the button which creates the tool bar is the same as the tool bar caption. We were finding that sometimes the system thought the tool bar was still open, even though it wasn't. In VFP8, everything was fine.
