Displaying "Running Query" box suddenly !

Hi,

I am using a VFP 8.0 Complied EXE file on a Win 98 PC which was
running great since the past 3 months.

Now suddenly since the past couple of days, whenever the PC is
processing information in that application I get a Box with "Running
Query...." and a progress bar!

I have made no changes and have been running the same EXE for the past
3 months. This happens only on one PC and the other PC running this
application has no such message.

Please help!

Thanks
Derek

I f you have SET TALK ON, VFP automatically displays this dialog when it
thinks the sql takes long to complete. So, to disable, issue SET TALK OFF.
There is a number of possible reasons why your application suddenly displays
the message, for example:
1) tables have grown in size
2) network speed / bandwidth
3) available memory
4) other running processes

Just a guess - sounds as if the Vfp runtime might think that particular
query were not optimized on one of the two machines.
Do both PCs access the same data DBF/CDX files? Do you use any
hard-coded date/time expressions in your index tags that might be
affected by Set Sysformats On, Set StrictDate ?
See also Sys(3054) in help.

It's also vaguely possible that the "working directory" for your application
shortcut has changed and is therefore not picking up a TALK=OFF setting in
the config.fpw file.
Try checking all the shortcut properties.
