SYMPTOMS
After a second user launches a Visual FoxPro run-time executable file, performance may be greatly reduced.



CAUSE
Norton 2001 Anti-Virus is running on the computer and Enable SmartScan Technology is selected.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open Norton 2001 Anti-Virus.
 * 2) On the Options menu, click Norton Anti-Virus.
 * 3) In the list box, expand System and select Auto-Protect.
 * 4) Clear Enable SmartScan Technology and close the dialog box.
 * 5) Start Visual FoxPro or the run-time executable file. Note that it opens quickly.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Make sure that Norton 2001 Anti-Virus is installed on at least one computer (either on one of the workstations or the server) and start a run-time executable file that accesses tables on the server. If Norton's Enable SmartScan Technology is selected, performance will be very slow.
