I had lots of weird problems using Protel99 files on network drives. I found that using DDB format (one big .ddb file for your whole project) worked better than 'filesystem' project format option (lots of actual .sch files stored in actual subfolders). No idea why the difference though.

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/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This message is sent using PostCast Server Professional Trial: http://www.postcastserver.com/
