Thanks Rick, I appreciate the pointer. Not sure I want to invest much

time in trying to multithread though.

I've set up several virtual workstations for the time being, and am

moving all VFP work over to those until the data gets moved out of the

DBF files and the no response problem goes away...mostly.

Mike,

>> Usually it's an issue with running reports in VFP....lots of data flowing back and forth between server and

workstation...more than 10 seconds elapses and the dreaded "Not Responding" is displayed.<<

Maybe you should consider one of the multi-threaded techniques like:

1) ParallelFox from VFPX, http://vfpx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ParallelFox&referringTitle=Home

2) Christof Wollenhaupt's DMULT.DLL. http://foxpert.com/downloads.htm

This way you could spawn off the report and let the application continue. Even without the multi-threading you could

spawn off another VFP application to show just the report and let the user Alt-Tab back to the main application.
