I was just about to ask this of Doru too, Jim, but since you already have...I had assumed caching or no caching was the principle (and workaround) involved, as of yesterday - but now I'm wondering if that's true or not.

I have tested very busy server-based DEs very thoroughly now, and found no delay in MODI FORM at all - but, I did NOT test a busy DE where all the tables were say, already open shared by 50 users. I'm teleworking today, but I can test that tomorrow, if no one else does sooner. If there really is an underlying vfp issue here, I certainly agree that we should report this to the vfp team...
