Hi Irv,
>I think the native Fox controls should be more efficient than the Richtext, but one question...Why are you writing this log to the Server? Could it be written to a local machine's C:-drive, maybe this would be a distribution of labor that would be beneficial...

The server app writes to the log as soon as it processes a request from any of the workstations. Would it be faster if it has write it to a file not located locally (in the server PC)? Wouldn't it contribute to the network traffic?
Thanks Irv! =)

I noticed that when about 5,000 lines are written to the control, our NT server (512MB RAM) just freezes up and gives a message like 'running low on resources'. Checking on Task Manager, I find out that Memory Usage has overshot its maximum level!
