Greetings,
This one turned out to be pretty simple:

The problem -- While in the background, MapInfo would stop running at an
attempt to periodically save data.  I was using:

        If counter Mod 20 = 0 Then Commit table_name

The solution -- Prevent the status bar from displaying.  The status bar
needs to have the computer's attention in order to proceed.  If in the
background, it patiently waits until you bring MI to the front.  Here's the
simple code:

        If counter Mod 20 = 0 Then
            Set ProgressBars Off
            Commit table_name
            Set ProgressBars On
        End If

Thanks to the dozen or so kind folks who responded and helped me run the
program.
Good luck,
Steve Riese
