Have you done a File > Database > Compact Database recently? That operation causes the database to be rebuilt sequentially into a new temp file, which should alleviate fragmentation. I do that every few weeks and also reclaim a lot of disk space in the process. >1) Is there a new version in the works that will address performance? > >2) Is there a new version in the works that will be tuned for Tiger? > >3) Since I've sent in emails to ctm and not gotten any response in months >(where it used to only take a few weeks) and their web site hasn't been >updated since 04 - is this still a supported product? Does it have a >future growth path? CTM haven't done a lot of site updates or publicity, but then, neither have I with my own products lately. I appreciate what slack appearance that gives to customers, but I can also see it from the small-dev-shop side of the fence (attention is focused on developing the product). Given that CTM have been improving PM over the past several years (slowly, yes, but consistently), I would not fret. Version 5.2 is also in testing right now, which adds some Tiger features.
