One frequent cause for slowdowns like this is anti-virus software.

If there is some running, see if the responsible folks will revise it to not touch VFP-related file types. Or maybe even turn it off temporarily, just to prove (or not) the case.

good luck

>I wrote a system for a client which has a module for inventory management, when they do transactions with a single user online the system works fine and saving a transaction will be almost instataneous. But when they have more than one user online saving a transaction starts taking up to 20-30 seconds which is really weird. The code for the transaction saving has at most 3-4 SEEKs, maybe a couple of APPEND/REPLACE (depending on situation) and 1 GATHER NAME. This shouldnt take 20-30 secs for sure.
