Hi there.

this is an odd one. My system has been rock solid for years but 
yesterday opening the query dialogue box has slowed down dramatically. 
So F10 - F - O - Q brings up the dialogue box. It now takes around 12 
seconds for the box to become responsive. It appears that Paradox is 
scanning all the files in the directory rather than being almost instant.

Doing exactly the same thing for Tables or Libraries or anything else is 
as before. Almost instant.

It is as though an index or lookup table has become corrupted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Robert
