Can't shutdown

I have a VFP8 application that runs just as an icon in system tray. If the
user picks the menu choice to shutdown program they can shutdown windows ok.
But if the program is left running shutting down windows goes a little
weird.

After you press start then select shutdown, programs start shutting
including this vfp8 app. No errors display but windows doesn't close.
Checking task manager shows the vfp8 app isn't running any more. Press
start then select shutdown a 2nd time and windows shuts down.

I've trimmed down the on shutdown code to just on shutdown and clear events.


Any suggestions?

I'd try "On Shutdown Quit" (and move any cleanup
code to the objects.Destroy() methods).

Add the QUIT command to the shutdown routine. If you dont QUIT in the
