Thanks you guys. I have everything working so I'm going to be brave and
uninstall vfp-6. Next, I'll dust off my hackers guide and others to read up
on modal/nonmodal and how to make .exe so I can make something run on a
separate pc. Is it practical to put an application and data on a flash drive
so all a client has to do is plug into a usb port?

READ EVENTS and CLEAR EVENTS are mainly to start and stop non-modal 
windows.  If you run from VFP you don't need them because you can just 
type QUIT in the command window.  From an .exe there's no command window 
you need them.  If your windows are all modal (most of mine are) then 
you don't need them either, because you exit from the window by 
Release()ing it.

Yes, you usually find out you need them when you compile the .exe, but 
they're really needed because of the non-modal form, not because of the 
.exe.
