Ria,

My general observation is that grid and filters don't like each other. If you use filters, and your filter would produce a small subset of records, and you show these records in a grid, no wonder, it would be slow.

As a test, try to remove grid from the form and see, if there is difference in speed. Also, do you use go top (or locate) after SET FILTER command? You have to move record pointer...

>When you say 'logging in as' do you mean logging into the 'app' as a specific user, logging into the 'domain' as a different user, or a specific server, workgroup, or what specifically? Is it a W2k domain, Novell, Window NT, Windows 98 workstation and Windows 98 peer server, etc?

>IN other words, what specific workstation, server, and network are you testing on? According to your statement below, you used the SAME workstation for testing and the data resides in the same location regardless of user (right?), so the only difference was the username and any account differences, correct?
