Grrr... I hate when I hear this stuff....   Converting a DOS system to Windows 
9.5, 32 bit.  It's all going really well so far, but we hit a regional form 
that is used in "enter" mode.  In DOS, as they hit [enter] from the end of the 
row to go to the new row, it instantaneously puts them into the new row.  In 
windows, it takes a full 8 seconds before they are put into a new row 
(witnessed it with my own eyes).  Well, as long as they are multi-user.  If 
they happen to get the database single-user then it's instant.  So they're 
keeping this DOS app around until I can "fix" it.

There's a bunch of #DUP in the form, but I removed all of them to see if it 
made a difference, but it didn't.  It's based on a permanent table, any 
experience that a temp table would work quicker for entry?   Or because the 
multi-user is an issue, do I just tell the client "sorry it's not me, it's your 
network"?
