Thanks Trevor, Yes you understand right. It is when the user right clicks on the task bar and chooses close. Otherwise, shutdownrequest etc. work OK if the user maximises first. It's only if the user does it from the taskbar.
The same thing happens if I try to trap at the shutdownrequest if the stack is minimized. As soon as it hit the answer box I get the error. This happens with an empty stack also(2.1.2) Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor DeVore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "How to use Revolution" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 5:12 PM Subject: Re: Desperately seeking help. iconify. uniconify. close from task bar. answer. ms reportable error? > On Jul 30, 2004, at 11:07 PM, Pat Trendler wrote: > > > Rev 2.1.2 win32 > > > > I've had a lot of problems with iconify, managed to solve them all > > except > > this one.
