Very Slow ODBC Import Vs 8.5

[redwood]

I'm in the process of transfering from v6 to v8.5

My solutions imoport data from MS sql on remote server.

In v6 when the import is triggered there is a mimimal delay before the import starts from the remote server.

But with v8.5 there is a deley of several minutes before data starts to import!!

What I can see is that in activity monitor FM is said to be 'not responding' But there appears to be a large amount of incomming activity on my network - almost as though somehow data is comming from the remote server long before the import is ready to start.

Can anyone suggest what is happening

Thanks

John
