>Hi Cy, Thanks for your reply. Where do I get the fast computer patch? Best regards, George

Check in the downloads section under VFP at the MS web site. (that's where what is left of the Fox stuff is (meaning the 2.x stuff)) Look for the fast computer patch. It requires that you are upgraded to 2.6a to use it. There is another unsupported patch if moving to 2.6a is not an option, although it really is what you should do.
