Have you checked what other processes are running on the slower machine ?
Is VFP showing high processor usage?

>Both PC's are on the same network but neither is using it for the run. Both are fairly new Gateway P4's @3.4 gz. Same model, same memory etc.

>>Network involved ?
>>Anti-virus ?

>>>Does VFP run faster in the development environment than in the runtime environment? I didn't think so but I have 2 basically identical PC's one used for development and the other (my user's) ion which the compiled runtime is installed. My routines run in about 5 minutes on my PC and take over an hour on my user's. My gut tells me the problem lies with the user's PC and not with VFP but the maintenance crew can't seem to find anything wrong with the second PC.
