I have had employees say the same thing. Sometimes right and wrong. Restore the older form from a backup and run a routine before and after the form runs and capture the time. I install a var timer start as the form is called and launches and displayed. I then compare the numbers with the other form (newer) and also a form that runs from a temp table. Run the form with AVG off and also active. Try with different computers and see if the same results are found. I have found computers to be blame on several occasions and it had nothing to do with Virus or RBase. I often test and tune on a local laptop and then watch the outcome. I have a table that only grabs the computers and watch the login and trap some application times. I also have left some of these time var to be seen by the users so if they feel the system is slowing down they can monitor it themselves.
I am surprised how often it is the employee and something other than AVG and RBase about 9 times out of 10 it is the OS or something network ie: packets, wiring (a fluorescent light moved) loose RJ-45. I am not say that it is not AVG but I have found more employees with good intentions running something that is just not so nice. Run a check on each computer and KISS. I use RRBYW15 or 14 and try it from there and see/watch the outcome. I have made copies and ran the timer code on them and then I look at my work. Paul I would bore the RBase List with my stories but I remember the weird and strange things that users have done. IE: Kicking the BNC-T connections and playing with it for one(that was a while back and ages me) Just for one.

The C:\Temp for the Scratch files is different and I use a Temp Table for this form now instead of a regular table. So, this way my best guess.

But if in fear include in the exception screen in AVG. My fear would be the possible hole left open for other hacks/attacks. I belong to a different Virus Software Utility users group so I cannot offer much help on AVG. It might be a better question for the AVG user group on how AVG handles the Windows System Environment Settings. Mostly you would check on .$$$ and see how they are handled instead of just adding the Dir/Folder. I would also go back and check the information regarding mapping RBase files. I think you will find best not to map and simply use the address. I have 10+ active users on a Linux Server and they all access the rb* files by address and run local exe's.

This app has them set to C:\Temp would Scratch TMP be better? Also, should you include the Mapped drive letter?

But most virus programs allow you to "exclude" files by creating a list with wildcards. If all your R:BASE databases are on one particular drive, and there are no other files on that drive that could contain viruses on that drive, I suppose you could exclude a drive letter.

Both are using AVG 8 and I read that they had a problem flagging some Windows files as malware. Could that be causing the problem? I know I need to update them to 8.0 but I am trying to get all my users on the same page then make the jump early spring. Thanks Marc _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
