Hi Chuck,

1) you can use flush() before Shutdown()
    after flush even if you get crash of system, db must be fine.

2) So as I understand, the SAME exe file compiled by RB works for you on
win95/98, but fail on XP, yes?

3) Please set up on Windows DbgView utility, set Valentina debug level 2
And check what output Valentina produce.

if you see something as:

    ValentinaShutdown...

Without 'done' at the end of line, then crash really inside of Valentina.
Otherwise in REALbasic.

Check this point.
