I guess I should learn more about the Windows API but yes, this
works. Thank you Terry.

I am just not sure whether all resources are freed properly when
using ExitProcess(0) but my guess is that they may not be freed
properly either when I use application.Terminate and get the 'Send
message to Microsoft' prompt.

The lost connection situation being an exception that occurs in +/-
rare occasions, I am quite happy to live with the ExitProcess(0) in
this situation.

Many thanks again to all for your help in finding a solution for
this matter.
