PROBLEM SOLVED I used Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade the Win7 Home Premium 32-bit system to Win7 PRO 32-bit, un-registered the OCX control, re-registered it, ran my EXE locally, and loaded all 23,000 SKUs in under 1/2 second.
I think it's pretty obvious: There is a system function call being used by the DBI ctGrid (both version 3 and 4) OCX file when it is accepting data input for the grid combo that Win7 Home Premium does not support well. As the ctGrid is a "black box" (and because I'm not smart enough) I have no way to do anything about the problem other than complain to DBI and upgrade all Win7 HOME systems to Win7 PRO at $77 each. I guess it's good to find the problem and I don't have to reinstall anything! Many thanks, again, to all of you who contributed your time and experience in an effort to help. While none of the suggestions may have nailed the real problem, they all provided priceless confirmation and trouble-shooting validation!
