Yeah, I had a client where a web app based on VFP (Web Connection) was experiencing some severe slowdowns. She kept saying "it didn't do this until you changed the program." Well, we were alpha testing. It was changing all the time and she did not have enough experience with the app to really say when it started. My testing and some problems I encountered in Windows itself indicated to me that it was not the app, but I was fed up with this client for a number of reasons and resigned the account at about that time. The next guy in - who I know - set up some automated testing which also pointed to a network problem and not the web app. They finally did track it down to the network itself. But she had been driving me crazy with her constant insinuations that it was my fault.
>It's funny you say that - not in the ha-ha way - as just last week we had a network guy at a client insist (very strongly) that it was because Foxpro messed up the Windows kernel that they were experiencing severe slow downs of their applications. It ended up being the fact that he had everyone setup on the network using the same session instead of separate ones. We spent almost a week trying to figure out what was going on. Of course, now we are vindicated, but the client was within a day of dumping us based on this network nitwit's recommendation regarding Foxpro.
