If possible, I would recompile (at least once) with VFP 6 or 7 and see if it makes any difference; maybe you've just hit the wall with VFP 5.0.

I personally never thought VFP 5.0 was ready for prime time.

>I've been developing apps on a Win98 machine. I compile the VFP 5.0 apps and load them on to client machines. The clients are now upgrading to Win2000 and WinXP. The apps seem to run VERY slowly on these Operating Systems. Is there a problem when I compile on a different OS? My clients are able to run win "Win98 Compatibility mode" which then runs the app at an ok speed. Weird!?
