Hi Neal, I connect my pc to the internet via an RJ11 to my router. I very seldom connect to the internet when using DXBase. I connected yesterday to see if that still worked and it did and had no problems. Other of course than closing down the program.

Pete are you using the LPT port or serial ports or the internet? Usually this type of symptom is a program waiting for something external to happen and it never does!
