The same thing happens when the Form is run within the dBASE environment. This may be associated with automatic Windows 10 updates, but I think it may be caused by the Shared Memory Conflict of a new .exe version of the Form that I am trying to complete. > > > > The Project successfully Rebuilds with no Errors report.

Never had this happen before. Within dBASE Projects after I Build with no Errors and try to Execute It, as I said, the message �Database Engine Initialization Error� �Shared Memory Conflict� immediately pops up. Disappointed, I closed the Project assuming no new .exe could be produced. I decided to delete the old .exe version from the Explorer folder and repeat the new .exe effort in dBASE Projects. I got the message that I had to Build before Execute could be done. After Rebuild and trying to Execute the same Memory message occurred. However, I noticed that the new .exe now actually appeared in the Explorer folder. The only thing was that no Icon appeared on the Desktop. By adding a Shortcut on the Desktop the new .exe runs from the the Desktop. (The new .exe appeared at the exact time that I tried to run Execute in the dBASE Projects) I still have the open and immediately close problem. Thanks, Norman
