Interesting. You make it sound easy...I'm hoping to get my hands on one of the workstations next week and, as Tracy suggested, clone the drive and do some experimenting. Your mention of Symantec does cause me concern as I did see "Symantec Updater" was installed on all the workstations. Is it a

Don't forget that if you are connecting directly from a computer to the WAP that you'll need to make sure both devices are on the same subnet. If your laptop (just a WAG what you're using for a computer to connect to the WAP with) is set to get an IP and subnet mask from a DHCP server, then you

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.
