We are experiencing an interesting problem. We have a rather large VFP 6.0 application that resides (along with the data) on an NT Server 4.0 (SP-6a). The application has been in use for neary three years. Our IT department is starting to upgrade some of the users to new PC's loaded with Windows 2000 and a new problem has resulted.

The first Windows 2000 user to log into the app has no issues and the app functions as expected. However, all subsequent Windows 2000 users that log in see a significant slow down in performance. Operations that would normally take a second or two now require 15, 20 or even 30 seconds. Here a few things we've tried to resolve this slow down:

1. Move the app and data to a new server (no difference)
2. Move the app to the client leaving just the data on the server (no difference)

Keep in mind that the app works fine until two or more Windows 2000 PC's log in. If anyone knows what is happening, please drop me a line.

Thanks
