Peter,

Yeah, maybe memory has something to do with it, but these machines have at least 64 MB, and no matter what else is running, two VFP apps can stall each other out... Also, virtual memory isn't even being accessed as far as I can tell, as the hard drive does not do any thrashing when the stalling is going on.

But I will keep SYS(3050) in mind for further troubleshooting! Thanks!
