Are you using the DDB database format - if I remember rightly, it's an access database, which according to our network support guys are just tragic over networks...
You mention it's when you save - have you selected the "Compact database on save" option? I know that function can be slow even on local drives at times... Thanks, Scott. ______________________________ Scott May -----Original Message----- From: Dom Bragge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 5 February 2004 11:04 AM To: protel Subject: [PEDA] Protel - server problems I'm having a few probs with my setup here & just wanted to bounce the symptoms off you for any suggestions I could follow up on. I am running 99SEsp6 & XP & am connected to a network. History: I had "My Documents" mapped to the H: drive (on a server) instead of my local machine for safety sake (& making backups simple). The problem with that is there is often some sort of lag when I save a (say 3meg) Protel database. Instead of taking <1sec, like when I save on my local disk, it *sometimes* takes nearly 60seconds onto the H drive. Sometimes it has been almost instantaneous. This doesn't seem to be related to network traffic, more like waiting for something to timeout, as I can send a 10meg file to & from the same H drive & it does that smartly. I only have delay probs with Protel saving & no other program. Can anyone give a hint of what might be happening here? Have you seen anything like this? -- Regards, Dom Dom Bragge, CID MIEEE | Silverbrook Research PL, PO Box 207 Snr PCB Layout Engr | Balmain NSW 2041, AUSTRALIA Ph +61-2-9818-6633xt163| [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is sent using PostCast Server Professional Trial: http://www.postcastserver.com/ ************************************************************************ The information in this e-mail together with any attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
