Paul, I am not clear on what the final fix was for this problem. Several hours ago my V8 stopped working. When you start V8 nothing appears on the screen but you can see RBG8EE running as a process in MS Task Manager. I thought it had to do with McAfee but have eliminated that possibility by removing it entirely from the system. I am seeing this same problem at some of my accounts.
Please let me know what you did to resolve this issue.

Also I would add recent RRBYW14 & 15 over a 2 month period. Applied updates etc.. Compiled and not. RFF compiled and running by RRBYW14& 15 .dat files compiled or not. I tried on several other apps available to me and same results on those selected computers. The only cure was new user. I could say coincidental But, I have a hard time with saying that. It was 5 (as I recall) computers out of 29 to 32 depending on the day/week that had the problem. You could in theory have as many as you wanted (process's with different id's (pid's)) all day long. In fact it was kind of easy checking by the time you strip it down and have just two folders to check for dll's, exe's etc.. I also used a utility to check running dll's during and after shutdown. These versions matched the other laptops that would close properly and not hang. All configured the same and searched for dup dll's and/or out dated files etc.. The utility I used to check versions, ports, keys, events, threads and MORE! running is available on Microsoft's web site in a Tech area along with other ways to check process's and calls also. I learned a lot, so I now know a little more about the behind scenes. All I can say is more power to Mike B and the whole R:BASE Dream Team I do not know how they do it. Sincerely, Paul Dewey I wanted to mention Mike Byerley name. He gave me the tools (the direction) and motivation to find the source and offered some really good advice and check list. I reviewed Razzak's email and that led me to unload (I did find other error's in the process, not releated). I then went to testing RRBYW's and such. I really figured it was my database causing the problem. Oh one more - when I compile a app it is good for one month. I compile one time and distrubite that to all locations. Just copies of the first one, rather simple process. 27+- times .. 4 times a pain. New Horizon Interlock Inc.

I would try tracing the uncompiled version. Maybe there is an error that the compiled version is hiding.

This is a Windows error/User. Correction: Create a new user and switch to that user. Then delete the other user. Over the past months I have had 10% plus computer hang on to exe process's and would not release the program. Over the past two months after creating a "New Windows User" I have NOT had the same problem occur or come back and haunt us. I have no way of telling anybody the reason. These are mixed machines, most Dell's (not Dells fault either) some XP's and 2000 OS. Some Symantec and other Norton 360 (different ver's of Symantec ) AVG or Zone Alarm. I could not find any rhythm or reason, tried the registry edit and searched it and more and just gave up. I hope this better explains. Also I earlier mentioned I tried "RRBYW14 & 15" compiled and a mixed assortment of other R:BASE commands. They all also hung - - compiled or not. Sincerely, Paul Dewey "Resent by request and a couple emails."

I have done a unload/load routine, but not often. Rbase is very stable and I do not seem to have database data issues. Since this never has happened on regular Rbase sessions, only on compiled apps, I assume it is not data related. (But could be mistaken) Creating new users is not really an option. I have 20 plus and this seems to happen occasionaly on all of them. Perhaps an elusive file is out there that I have not spotted so far.
