hmm.. i have a little problem with the console api''s in VB. I manage to create a console, write to it, etc. but, when it comes to closing the app, it creates a critical error. i know i can use the FreeConsole api thing.. but when should that be runned? the error comes only when using the consoles close/X button. so. is there either a way to get around that error, or a sub that starts when that button is pushed? hmm.. any help apretiated. thanx
