Unless it is fundamental to XP?
There is something going on with all my Builder
applications, which is why we have dropped XP as being
supported.

I have just come back from a site that had W2k terminals for
all access. One machine has been replaced with XP 'because
the suppliers no longer support W2k', and the one Firebird
app is not the only thing that is slow closing against the
W2k machine next to it! I have just told the customer that I
can't do anything about it, and they are now happy as they
can see other software doing the same thing, and as they
only normally log off at the end of the day. It looks as if
they will have to log off the XP machine a couple of minutes
before knocking off time for XP to close down <g>

( The SERVER is still W2k! )
