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.

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.
