VirtualPC/FMP Look-up Hang

[amypaulsmom]

I'm not sure where this question belongs - but thought I would start with it here.

I have a consultant friend who has a client who has 4 Mac's running FMP (current version). One of the machines is also running Virtual PC(VPC). If FMP is running in the background on the VPC machine then FMP hangs whenever doing a look-up until FMP is brought to the front on that machine. FMP acts like it is waiting for FMP to be in the foreground so that it can check to see if the Look-ed up record is already being accessed?

Have you heard of this or a good way around this?

Thanks for any advice or opinions you might have.

Thats because VPC hogs the processer of the computer that it is on. Once it is the front app, it takes 100% of the CPU. You might be able to change this in the prefs (I haven't used VPC in years)
