Thanks Tracy. Appreciated.
I suspect it has something to do with a setting on the main desktop form.

All,
I have that "seen it before" nagging feeling about this problem...that I've seen the problem discussed here but I haven't located any answers.
I have a form set as "As Top-Level Form" I have a second, modal form, set as "In Top-Level Form"
After closing the second, modal form with close button on the second form, the close button on the Top-Level Form is not clickable (dimmed out) so you can't click it and shut the program down.
But if you click "somewhere else" on the desktop, anywhere other than the Top-Level Form of the Foxpro VFP9 SP2 application, then you CAN click back on the Top-Level form and the close button is bright red and can now be clicked and the program closes.
What in the heck is causing that and more important what is the
workaround?
Thanks for any advice!

Mike,
I'm unable to reproduce the behavior you speak of. I know I've heard it. I don't work with that many top-level projects that have modal dialogs. I have 1, and customers have not complained about it. VFP 9 SP 1 - multiple OS's Just tested a small project VFP 9 SP 2 patched to 7423 on Windows 8. I'm not seeing the behavior.
