>1st... in the setup you describe, using terminal services is a big waste of money and resources.

It was not my decision to use terminal services, but AFAIK it was made to improve security...

>To help with your problem, limit the memory the vfp app uses for each workstation.
how?

>Then make each user have a separate temporary directory. One way to do that is to map a user directory to a local drive and in the config for your app, point your temporary work area to that drive.

Yes, it was first thing which I did, I used SYS(2023)...

>>Hello,

>>There was small office with 8 PC with Windows XP OS.
