Resetting is the internal term for aborting or stopping. It is always difficult to bring multiple threads to a stopping point. At the moment at least, this is done without killing threads, so if a thread is running in a DLL or CIN or subroutine priority VI, LV will just wait for it. In the future, this dialog might have a button to try and kill the offending threads. Of course, this slaughter will likely leave resources to drivers open and in odd states, so that is a can of worms we have left unopened. Greg McKaskle
