>I think there are some known issues here, and I would recommend you get the upgrade to VFP 6.0 (coming this spring, before June 21st) which will likely be a bit better than what you are seeing.

Ken,

Might "some known issues here" be discussed at

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q197/5/10.asp

And if so, are you suggesting that the M/S upgrade
a) will address this known bug,
b) will fix this bug,
c) will improve form-loading performance to be
1) as fast as VFP5 or
2) 10%-20% faster than how slow it is now?

With fingers crossed,

David
