Sergey,

Diabled AV but no avail. The operating systems on the servers where slowdowns occur is NT4 and NT5. The common element appears to be the WIN2000 professional desktop.

Regards,

Jim

>>You've been a great help in the past and I am hoping you can assist me with an issue with one of our older products. It is written in FPW2.6 and runs great on WIN95 and WIN98 boxes.

>>At startup, the application opens 60 tables and sets relationships. On WIN95 and WIN98 systems the startup over the network is a couple of secons. The problem is that when users upgrade to WIN2000 boxes the same open and relationship process can take up to 3 minutes. Ouch.
>>
>>I know optimistic record locking on the server is an issue but turning this off on the server does not seem to help. Any ideas? One good solution I know already is to tell the user don't upgrade boxes without buying our upgrade software but sometimes this is a hard sell.
