I ran into something like you're discussing below back in 2017 (?) but thankfully my client just moved to my newer version of software that used a MariaDB (MySQL) backend instead of the DBFs. The old DBF version for them was suffering network/corruption problems. Interestingly enough, those problems went away when we made the switch. (Ever since Bob Lee's MySQL session at WhilFest in 2002/2003, I've never used DBFs on the backend for things I've built.)

Hi All
Has anyone got any suggestions as to where the problem maybe in the following scenario.
We have a VFP application, using DBC/DBF's on a windows server, it has been running fine and quick for years. Various windows clients (all now Windows 10).
The server was a physical server but has now been replaced with a virtual machine hosted on a HyperV machine on premises.
Most of the 20 clients are still running fine, but a handful (3 identified) at the moment are running really slow, they are only running slow in the VFP application any other use of the server like copying files runs fine. They also seem to be the better spec'd machines out of the 20. Nothing has changed on the client pc's other than the unc path where the application is looking for the data.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Chris.
