I have reservations that the .NET version would effect performance - it would either break or fix an issue. In my experience, Quickbooks performance is usually effected by network performance/configuration settings (typically on the server) - as per the reasons that others have already sited. I would recommend systematically going through all configs/service settings to make certain that they are optimal for your environment. OS filesystem settings should be involved.
Next, I would take a look at the database itself: Size, objects, etc. You may have reached a performance threshold in the database. Question: Did the performance issues start to occur after a server update? -- Espi On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 12:58 PM, ANDREW F OFALT <afo...@psu.edu> wrote: > Well, we have standalone clients, so its not the server. > On a couple of machines I worked on reinstalling .NET 1, 1.1,2,3,3.5 > seemed to fix "a" quickbooks problem. > On others I have noticed that Quickbooks sometimes updated or installed > some .NET software. > On others I noticed that there are .NET updates that have not installed, > but quickbooks runs ok. > So I am not sure it is .NET, but suspecting it *might* have something to > do with some of the slowness and popups we are seeing on some computers. > > So I am thinking that Quickbooks has some .NET code in it.
