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"?
