VFP Problem When Exiting from Windows 2000 1

[JoeMajestic]

We recently moved a production application written in VFP 6.0 from Win98 client to a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. The app runs normally except when we exit the program. The app appears to close but remains in the task list. The only way we can fully stop the app is by opening the task list and clicking on the 'End Task' option.

A few more details:

1. The app uses a single top-level form that is called from a 'main.prg' startup program using READ EVENTS

2. The top level form kills the app by issueing a CLEAR EVENTS in the Destroy event of the form

Keep in mind that this app works normally on Win95/98. If you have any clue as to why this is happening please reply.

joe, this is the same thing as catching the line of code where C0000005 crach appears. Catch the last line of code ran in the application. Try to put QUIT somewhere there. Some resources might not be cleaned up, for example, cross-references objects are not released. There are many other reasons.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
