Hi Wesley,

I too have a large, although essentially standalone, FPW 2.6 App that runs on Win 2000 without problem.

Have experienced slow start-up in a couple instances. In these cases the customer had started using Norton anti-virus concurrent with migration to Win 2000, and had Norton set to check each file as opened. Eliminated checking for 3 file types, and everything ran well.

>They have a FoxPro 2.6 App that "supposedly" will not run on Windows2000 machines(I am told Win2000 does not support 16-bit Apps). Though the application does run on One of the clients Win2000 machines. Of course the solution would be to duplicate what the user did on the One machine that it does work, but that would be too easy.
