In addition to what has already been noted, there are strategies that can help optimize the app. Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure the temp files are stored on the local machine. 2. Run the executable from the local workstation. 3. Use a "loader" program that is launched, then checks the date of your exe on the local workstation vs. your latest build which is on the server. If the server has the newer one, copy it to your local machine, then launch that. JH Now, for the first time in four years I have bee developing a networked Foxpro application boy have things changed. It is a peer to peer Network with Vista Home and XP home machines. First they where setup with wireless I tried running the application , but after standing with my hands in my pockets waiting for a page change on a pageframe I decided that it had to go. We use to run applications on 10mb networks and now they can't be run on 54mb. I also moved the data from an XP machine to one of the faster Vista machines. I managed to get XP machines to connect to shared folder on it but it refused to let the other Vista machine anywhere near it. The other problem seems to be themes. Why does Visual Foxpro, a Microsoft product, have such problems with themes and why aren't they just ignored in Foxpro applications. At first when starting up the application on both XP and Vista the areas of the form not covered by the page where transparent. The only way to get the full form was to minimize and then maximize it again. I have since cured it on the XP machines with SCREEN.Themes=.F. But not so on the Vista machine. I have turned Aero off and set the program compatibility to XP sp2 but it had now effect. Some of the new features Visual Foxpro 9.0 are nice but with the serious speed and compatibility problems I will think twice about doing another VFP Project. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@shelbynet.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
