Hi Des.
We are based in Dublin and have also been using VFP for quite a while.
We have noticed few things with recent versions of windows:

1. If using Large Databses with a filter....it can ground to a halt particulalrly over a lan... Running exact same form over RDP directly connected to the server seems ok...I'd suggest, if you can, that you copy the Filterd' bit into a Cursor, work on the cursor, and then update the table from the Cursor...had to do this to a few screens and it worked

2. Have noticed a lot of funnies, corruptions, data and Indexes not being updated with recent versions of Windows and Windows Server versions. (Windows 7/8 and Server 2012 etc.)
It seems to me it's all related to Buffering (SMB2) on Windows re Databse Tables but have no definitive answer and have been doing a lot of trial and error type stuff

(If you want to give me your email , I can email you my mobile and am happy to have a chat over phone)

Regards,
Gerard

But now with the change over to Windows 7 and Windows 8, I am experiencing problems. My forms seem to hang, especially when filtering data in large tables. So I am considering updating the VFP platform and have read about Lianja.
