Sounds to me like it is the actual processing of the invoice at
the client machine that is the problem. Like you are bringing
too many records over the network to process. Either your SQL
statement isn't optimized or your "for clause" isn't. You never
notice it on your terminal services client because you are
actully doing all the processing on the server, and no records
are being sent over the network.

2. Shut off all Anti-virus software just to make sure.

3. Are all clients slow or just that one?

4. With FOXPRO 2.0 for DOS, there is a timeout setting in the XP
printer driver that has to be set in XP in order to allow it to
print quickly. Even though you are using Windows, I wonder if
playing with it will speed things up.
