There could be a lot of issues, but I would start by looking at your network. I would highly recommend a NetWare or NT server. Win 95 networking is just not up to the task of handling database applications in my opinion. Also, 32MB is pretty paltry for a server.

I've found VFP's network performance to be comparable to 2.x. In either case I would expect local access to be significantly faster.

>I am about 1/3 of the way thru a project. I decided to test performance on a network. I copied all the files to a win95 peer to peer file server and ran the EXE. The results were and are DISMAL. That file server was a Pentium 133 with 32MB of memeory. We then moved the program to a pentium 300. Better performance but still not useable. I realize that I did not go thru an install procedure in WIN95 but would that have such a large inpact on performance. (The second machine has VFP6.0 installed on it) Are there any secrets to network performance with VFP6.0. Our experience with FOX 2.x is that network performance is close to that of local access so were were completely unprepared for this. Any help greatly appreciated.
