Jim H: Ok, granted you could do a number of things but if it's a prod issue and you are debugging and not knowing where the issue is a sound approach like the Debug Perspective that I coughed up this morning is far more practical wouldn't you say.

I. Switch to the "Debug Perspective" which can be found under \Windows\Perspectives\Debug. II. Using your Jaws cursor locate the "Debug" tab and click it. You will be placed on a Tree View with all the running apps if and when applicable. Note, you may have to expand the node to locate your app. III. Select the offending critter and Right Click it. IV. A pop up menu appears, scroll it until you locate "Terminate" and hit the enter key. There you go folks. Where's my bottle of single malt? Jim James M.
