Hi, John

>Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know why it appears that it is using "ntvdm" (nt virual dos machine)? I get information from our network guy. The network guy believes that maybe why we are having a slow response from our server.

It is not using it on my PC nor my server. Are they sure it is VFP who's using it?

What version of VFP have you installed? Haven't your application performed a RUN command to start a BAT file or something like that?
