And related to wOOdy's suggestion, do you have a startup PRG configured? Perhaps it's trying to do something in conflict with the first instance.

It just means that each instance does use only one main processor-command-pipe. Which isn't even the case with VFP9, which technically uses at least 8 threads already. (see taskmanager/details and add column "Threads") Each VFP instance is completely isolated from another VFP instance, Windows takes care of separating the memory and address-spaces for each task. You can't just change a memory variable and hope that it would get picked up by another VFP session. On a higher level, "SingleThreaded" is mostly used as in "this software can only do one job at a time", whereas "multithreaded" often get used as in "does multiple tasks parallel" In your case I suspect a deadlock at the FoxUser.dbf, which is used by both instances at the same time, since both use the same config.fpw and settings. wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von [email protected] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

I launched a 2nd instance of VFP to work on something totally different. While editing some code in a PRG, my 2nd VFP session hangs. I leave it, come back HOURS later, still hung. Both VFP sessions. I'm guessing this is because it's single-threaded (although I'll be the first to admit I'm not a threading expert). Ideas?
