Now, I would expect this to end the application immediately however it appears that it continues on it's line of processing before doing so, in this particular instance I get a log message saying 'Seems we lost the connection to the database' however I then get another exception thrown which says:</div><div><br></div><div>'the variable 'current_events' was referenced before assignment.'</div><div><br></div><div>I would expect that 'if' block to be processed at all after the mainloop has been killed. Am I doing something wrong? Need I do more to ensure the application exits properly?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your advice everyone, I appreciate it.</div><div><br></div><div>Heston</div><br /><hr />Windows Live Messenger just got better. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665230/direct/01/' target='_new'>Find out more!</a></body> </html>
