Isn't there an "on shutdown" or "on logoff" routine built into foxpro? Wouldn't that work?

Hi, Philip. It doesn't help with your question really (sorry!), but this is another reason why I favor the disconnected approach, similar to what Charlie Coleman uses. Then again, it's easier for me since I'm not using VFP on the backend anymore, but instead MySQL. Let me take a stab at helping you: Are you looking to somehow keep your app alive by simulating some sort of activity so that the TS doesn't disconnect? Perhaps something in a timer where you move the mouse a fraction of a foxel (...iow, a super small unit)?
