It sounds like a clasic memory leak problem. Keep and eye on the memory usage in the task manager for that application.

>>1. Where is VFP located – local or server?

>>2. If it is on a server, which network is in use? (Novell was a pain for some)

>>3. Are you using a product like Visual SourceSafe? (This was the most common problem)

>>4. How about anti virus products?

>>5. Memory leak?
