could you connect he workstation to another port or another networkcable? maybe it's the network card

>>>This is a tough one. Don't have a lot of information, but we have two forms that for one client (and only one client) open very slowly the first time during a session. Usually, after they have been opened, they will open fast subsequent times. This installation has been running great for over a year, but suddenly we have this problem. Their network guy made some changes to their server, changed the IP address, etc. and that is when the problems seemed to start. Of course, he says that it is our application, not anything he did. Proving it one way or another is proving very difficult. I can't find anything that would cause this slowdown in the application yet. We'ver tried disabling Norton, but that didn't seem to make a difference. We are thinking of having them put everything on a clean server box and see if that helps. Anyone have anthing they can think of that we could look at or try? We are about a day away from losing this client.

>>The last time we had a problem like that we found the problem was due to the grid on the form having a filter. As time went on the table used in the grid got large enough to where it didn't all fit in memory and performance when downhill fast. At the least I would guess that this client has one of the larger data sets among your clients and there is a grid on the form.

>Great idea, unfortunately their data is average in size and there is no grid. Just some dropdowns and textboxes. Both forms having the problem are very simple and just collect settings to run a report.
