I have read most of this and might have missed this. But have you tried RRBYW in this office and test it to see if it slows down. Usually a bit of a hassle but I change the appearance and add my own rows and test. Just a thought Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

They said it gets slow when it hits Pause 4 Using '5' just before the Edit Using command This EEP s using a Temp Table using a regular table did not help either DROP TABLE tran_spd PROJECT TEMP tran_spd FROM tran_hist USING * WHERE COUNT = 0 Insert ......... Pause 3 Using '5' EDIT USING spdyov2 DELETE ROWS FROM tran_spd INSERT + INTO tran_spd (custnum,date_con,tr_date,tr_type,ch_code,ch_price, ptest,+ dig_ch,memo,treat_dr,inscomp,inshold,modf1,modf2,modf3, modf4 ) + SELECT custnum,date_con,tr_date,tr_type,ch_code,ch_price, ptest, dig_ch,memo,+ treat_dr,inscomp,inshold,modf1,modf2,modf3, modf4 FROM speedov + WHERE custnum = .vaptcust PAUSE 4 USING '5' EDIT USING spdyov2 I also made sure the Clear form Vars is checked and I run a clear var routine after the Edit Using.
