Hi Rick,

If possible, could you describe what might happen to the web server when several users request such heavy-duty report rendered by VFP MTDLL+ASP application. What could be done to prevent/improve the situation on the server side?

Thanks for your postings; this particular discussion -- I find it especially helpful.
