Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is off. After more testings, I do not think it is MM upgrade b'cos i tried another server (wins 2003) and few other PCs (XP Prof) and they behaving OK.

I have narrow down to the calling of the VFP COM which causing the slowness. I have even uninstall SP2 back to SP1 but all these does not affect the concerned server. Running out of ideas. Any more tips?

Regards,
Farouk
