Dear all, thanks for the feedbacks. I have finally found the cause of this issue. The issue persists whenever the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" option of the user pc network controller is unticked. Once I tick it, the issue is solved. Thanks again.

One of our user desktop PC is facing an unusual long loading time (~10s) when opening a program (written in VFP6). It would show an unusual loading screen before a login screen. The slowness occurs randomly and normally will happen the very first time the said program is opened (e.g. after a...

Given that I am aware about the FMT unchanged issue, tentatively I would proceed with copying file whenever there is file size change plus copy once a day regardless of any change. Thank you guys.

Steve, yes, in fact I am exploring the "right" time to copy the files. e.g. when FMT changed? or when FMT / file size changed?

I believe the copy program was done to give an impression that it would be less intrusive to the source files? (copying tables vs accessing the tables directly and exporting the relevant records). However, I will explore on options you mentioned. Both copied files and source files shown...

Yes. I have tried copying the file today under no time stamp changed condition and browsing the copied table under Foxpro. Surprisingly the new records are shown. So I am wrong that "the table files copied do not contain the new records". I notice that the table size changed even the file...

Yes. That is the case we are facing. Even if I have tried copying manually (Ctrl+C > Ctrl+ V under Windows envinronment), the new records are not seen in the copy. I will check if there are other table files which store those new records temporary before writing into the main table file. Thanks...

Thanks Stefan, Mike and Chriss for the confirmation. Actually, we are using a simple external program which would copy the table files (dbf,cdx,fpt) via Robocopy to a separate location of the server and export some of the data to csv file for analysis. When the copy is done before the VFP...

Hi, my company is using an invoicing software (written under VFP6). Programs and table files are hosted on a server pc running Windows Server 2016 Essentials whereas users are running the software via a network path shortcut (e.g.: \\192.168.1.2\account\billing.exe) on their pc running Windows...

Thank you guys for your input. Surprisingly the printing speed became normal (takes less than 2 seconds to display the printer selection) before I removing any of the networked printer on this pc. Anyway, the printer selection look like this: I found that this "slow printing issue" never...

Yes. I would try removing all of the printers and see if the issue persists

My office is still using an accounting software compiled with VFP 6 (vendor long gone). Databases and software stored in Server with Windows Server 2016. User with Windows 10 accessing the software is experiencing slow preview / printing issue, e.g. whenever I click the print button for printing...
