>Thank you everyone for all your input. The probelm ended up being the Norton Anti-virus software. Once disabled, everything is perfect - like magic almost. The question now is which AV software should be used? Any ideas?
Yours is not the first case of NAV causing this type of problem. Unfortunately NAV is one of the best for virus coverage and simplicity/transparency of automatic updates so it would be nice to stick with it. A couple of options come to mind:
- notify Symantec that there is a problem. I have just done this by submitting a message on their tech support forum.
- delve into NAV setup and exclude VFP-specific file extensions - including .TMP, .BAK, .TBK etc. if necessary.
