>> I wouldn't discount hardware issues. It could also be a bad network connection, such as a bad NIC or wire. These things can be detected by a good network engineer.<<

Actually, I WOULD NEVER RULE OUT ANYTHING UNLESS I AM SURE. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I have been a network engineer for over 15 years (all of it spent in lan/wans). FWIW, I am a Cisco/MCSE/CNE/ASE. The certifications are paper, the battle wounds I have from the field are real. or other problems.

Unfortunately, I am clueless when it comes to SQL Server. If I had to bet, I would say it is driver related. The only thing I can see is that the driver on my workstation is version 3.70.06.90 and the version on my server is 3.70.06.23. The only other thing I can see is maybe SQL server is just slow for client workstation queries and I am spoiled with VFP.

Thanks for the help though.
