Thanks Neil,

Unfortunately rewrite is not in the cards right now, we are rolling new laptops to the salespeople as the old ones break, the new ones have 802.11n and windows 7, so we'll see how much of an improvement we see with those for the near term.

>>I inherited a POS application that is having issues with speed. Basically there's one laptop who is the "server", it has all the data, and the other laptops are the "checkouts" which connect to the server via a wireless network and access the data, just the server and usually 1-3 checkouts. Of course one problem is that foxpro is bringing all the data over the wireless network and as more checkout laptops are added to the network it begins to crawl (even though the tables are not that big), actually adding just one checkout it crawls. The code is a combination of everything since a few programmers have had their crack at it.
