Wow - I solved the problem but I'm amazed at the solution <s>. Yesterday, I added some Word automation code and included the Word2000.h file in another include file that is utilised throughout the whole application. I dropped the automation code in favour of another solution. After finding that more or less everything was slowing down, I racked my brains for what I had done differently. I pulled the Word2000.h file out and "bingo", everything back to normal. I didn't realise what sort of impact this could have.

Anyhow, problem solved.

Thanks!

From an almost instantaneous save previously, it now takes say, 5 seconds to write the changes away. This seems to have started after experiencing a couple of C5's, on the trot.
