It could be done in VFP, but what possible reason could you have for wanting to? If you really do have a legitimate need for this, use a language with some power like Visual C++. Although, honestly, I can't imagine a legitimate need for this.

Question for you: Are you saying that when your application runs, the user should not be allowed to check his or her email? That seems kinda silly.

HI
In the forms property..select WindowType and set its value to 1. This will make the form modal. Probably this is what you are looking for.

When you say 'cash driver' is this the same as what we mean in American English as 'cash drawer', i.e. just ringing up sales and collecting the money? It is rather hard to get windows to give up its 'thing'; enabling multi-tasking. And I suspect it would be breakable if the user really wanted to.
