Thanks. I had a client once that had a network in a manufacturing environment with long cable runs and we sometimes had issues I could only attribute to that very thing you mention. However, in this case I don't think that's it. Strangely, it only happens on this one control. I think I'd see other problems if they had network connection issues. They actually have a very nice and modern network. What makes this even more odd is that it sometimes C5's VFP (that seemed to be limited to one or two users). I have worked around it, but have not discovered the root cause. Thanks again.
