Razzak, Thanks for the fast response. If I'm understanding properly I think that will work in some cases. However, If the user LAUNCH's the PDF and still needs to input information in R:BASE, this may not work as the PDF needs to closed which defeats the purpose. Am I correct in my understanding?

Could this be a memory issue? Is this a place for the DLFREE >command? Jan, That is the result of operating/stacking multiple documents and not realizing it. Use "||W" parameter of the LAUNCH command to take care of such issues. Example: LAUNCH MyPDFDocument.pdf||W This will invoke the Acrobat Reader (or the program associated with *.pdf) with MyPDFDocument.pdf as a main window while R:BASE sleeps in the back. End-User will have to Close/Exit PDF Reader in order to get control back to R:BASE window/application. Notice the two (2) pipes with no spaces right after MyPDFDocument.pdf. The first pipe with no parameters and no space while the second pipe with Wait Until Finished "W" option. Hope that helps! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
