Dick: Another thing to think about in addition to what Razzak said... At one of my clients we had a variable image in forms and reports. The lookup was to a subdirectory on the network drive. Turns out that we kinda didn't notice that we had accumulated thousands of BMP files in that directory. Each computer took different amounts of time to search the huge subdirectory for the proper file to display; some were fast about
it, some were so slow that the computer seemed to lock up (it would actually find it after about 5 minutes). Just finished a project to split the subdirectory into month/yr subdirectories and now everyone flies!!! I'm assuming the differences were either the physical hardware or the exact OS build, or other workstation-specific settings...
