>Does anyone know what might cause this and how can I fix it. The database is a huge one with over 2 million records and I'm using VFP 5.0a on a Windows 2000 Prof. I tried using PACK and it does the same. Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Is the W2K machine actually rebooting itself, appearing to hang, or is the VFP session hanging or dying on a GPF?

If W2K is rebooting, check the usual suspects - video driver, bad RAM chips, etc. If the computer has over 256MB of RAM, try limiting VFP's use of RAM to 256 MB with SYS(3050).

If the machine appears to hang, this may be "normal" if the disk is being pounded. Everything may be very slow, such as task or context switches. If you can bring up the Task Manager, W2K is still alive.

Make sure VERSION() in VFP5 reports 0415 as the last digits. If not, apply Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3.
