OK - problem solved! It's Norton Antivirus!!!
I'm running Win 2000 - and by default it's doing a heap of virus checking, seemingly so on every file in my project.

>> I experience the same problem. Our projects sometimes take minutes to open. I wonder if the more times you use Source Safe the slower it gets. Does it keep historical files on the Client PC which get bigger each time Source Safe is opened? This may explain why a new employee can open projects quicker ( I'm making assumptions here ). Let me know how you go.

>>>We're running VSS (Visual Source Safe) on our VFP projects here. I've always noticed that it takes quite a while for a project to fire up under VSS control.
>>>Now I've taken on a new employee. And his projects fire up almost immediately. Same project, same server. Of course my machine is better, and my network access is better etc, I'm the boss :-).
>>>So how can my projects take 30 secs to appear, and his take 1.
>>>It's not fair!

>>>Any clues guys?
