>>It's only one PC, the Win2K machine replaced the other one. They're both on the network, but in both cases VFP was installed (only) to the local HD. Both were running Mere Mortals (also upgraded to 7.0 with the new machine) off a network drive. But it doesn't 'feel' like a network problem. It seems like something running in VFP's background. I suspect performance won't change if I drop off the network, but then I can't post that answer. ;)

I talked to the network admin about that just before the upgrade. DBF and CDX files are excluded from scanning, but he won't exclude .TMPs, which I agree with. The same version, same options (Norton AntiVirus Corporate) was installed.

This is bugging me the most during development. My other recent troubles (C5 crashes) are probably just compounding the annoyance. I suppose I could live with it, but when I get to watch it paint the Properties window everytime I open a class.. *sigh*.
