Re: How to end a program

Y'all;

OK, so I took my own advice on how to kill my program off, with an Unload, a Close, and an End statement and, and now I get the following message box from somewhere down in the bowels of something:

---------------------------------------------------
Component Request Pending
---------------------------------------------------
The action cannot be completed because the other
application is busy. Chose 'Select To' to activate
the busy application and correct the problem.

[Switch To...] [Retry]
---------------------------------------------------

Clicking on Retry just gets the same thing again.
Clicking on anything on my application gets the same thing again.
Clicking on Switch To just gets a list of everything now in the tray to chose among, similar to Alt+Tab.

It gives me this my my form still showing, but it is NOT in the tray!!!

After about a minute or so, the problem just goes away!

Definitely NOT a clean exit, so please don't take my prior posting as any sort of competent advice on how to end it all.

Any ideas what is happening here?

I've probably been wrong more than right about such things, but my off-hand guess is that in unloading I may have asked it to do something that takes some time (like saying "Goodbye" and getting everything to a reasonable condition), yet executed my End statement before this shutdown activity had all been completed. With my program blown away, the speech recognition, synthesis, etc., got upset that it couldn't send its final acknowledgments.

Any ideas on how to build a better wooden stake to drive through this application's still beating heart?
