Thanks for your help and your efforts, but I have just managed to work out that the problem is being caused by Trend Micro A/V Software!<br />
Will give you the points anyway for your efforts :-)

We have installed a load of new Windows 8 machines over the weekend, and the VB6/ SQL Server apps that ran fine before are running really slowly now.<br />
<br />
My laptop is also windows 8 and the applications run fine from there.<br />
They are currently located on a share on the server, but even copying them locally has no effect.<br />
My own thought is that it is the link to &nbsp;the SQL Server which is causing the problem. but I may be wrong.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Any ideas anyone?
