Data access, queries, and the other aspects of VFP seem great but producing a report seems to take forever. Reports that used to just popup on my old box now require 20-30 seconds before they are visible. Has anyone else experienced this and /or is there a clue as to what's going on?

Thanks Naomi. It WAS the printer settings. Our printers got rearranged about the same time I got the new box. So it wasn't with my box at all.
