Yeah ...

Don't get me wrong ... 8 seconds is very slow ... I agree ... this is actually an old version of our application. The performance difference between this and our newer versions, written in VFP 8 is huge (the newer versions being faster). Even still, when looking through the code, I fail to see any reasons why opening the table takes so long. The real problem, however, is that the client operation on some PCs can take up to 3 minutes.
I realise that this is most likely an issue with client PCs, however, at the moment, they are unwilling to just accept this as an explanation. I'm just fishing for any possible coding issues that could be causing it ??

>>I have a client who is experiencing significant slowdown issues when accessing tables on their server. Granted, one of the tables in 41MB with 178,000 records, but even in our offices, we only experience a delay of 8 sec when opening it (compared to their 3 minutes). The client is a large pharmaceutical company, and so, they do have quite an advanced network with a lot of traffic, however, I feel that this should not cause a 2500% slowdown. I was just wondering if there are any slowdown issues with VFP 6.0 that are solved / improved in later versions of VFP ?
