Place the Clear events in the same click-event code. Due to the Read events, the form is released, and all events are handled, but the event polling-'loop' isn't ended. This way the program is still running without any visual interface to actually end it.
Furthermore, because it's a standalone exe now the QUIT command isn't needed in the main program.

When I disable the code that calls the APIs I can get the form to display but when I exit the form via Quit (thisform.release) the form disappears from the screen but Task Manager reveals that my simple app shows up as an application and as a process still running in memory. I need to kill both the app and the process before I can overwrite the .exe with a new compile. Here is the main program: DO FORM form1.scx READ events CLEAR events QUIT form1 has a Quit button with "Thisform.release" in the click event. What do i need to do to have the code exit cleanly?
