I agree with Razzak on Scratch.
I had the same problem with several offices that drove me nuts trying to figure
out.
So I made a form that shows the following settings.in Var labels
Main Table : ccmenu
1 : TEXT vdrives = (CVAL('Drives'))
2 : TEXT vmulti2 = (cval('multi'))
3 : TEXT vcurdrir = (CVAL('CURRDIR'))
4 : TEXT vcurdrv = (CVAL('CURRDRV'))
5 : TEXT vdbpath = (CVAL('DBPATH'))
6 : DOUBLE vFspace = (ISTAT('DISKSPACE'))
7 : INTEGER vFspace2 = (.vFspace / 1000000000)
8 : INTEGER vfreeMem = ( (ISTAT('MAXFREE')) / 1000)
9 : TEXT vstatic = (CVAL('STATICDB'))
10 : TEXT vfastlck = (CVAL('FASTLOCK'))
11 : TEXT vquals = (CVAL('QUALCOLS'))
12 : TEXT vsctratch = (CVAL('SCRATCH'))
I also have a button that dumps Show in a text file so they can print it and fax
it to me.
This does not apply to you but if my users settings are OK, then I start
talking about
Spyware, Ram, Defrag HD also what virus program they use.
I started using Avast at home on a Vista computer, all we do is email and surf
the web
but the latest Avast really slows down the computer to a crawl. So if you have
a user that
uses RBase 8 hours a day and they start using Avast you will get a call saying
something
is wrong with your app when in fact it is Avast.
I am using Avast on XP Pro now and it does not slow down XP.
Good luck
Marc

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Network problem revisited
Awhile back I had posted a problem with a slow network and have resolved that
it is not the network. Here is my situation: for three years I have been
using a program on a network of 3 computers, the program runs fine. I have
opened a second location and had been modifying my database(same tables and
structure, just making some forms more useful and better looking). Where I am
seeing a significant slowdown is on my new network(3 computers) running my new
app. When I say slowdown, I mean that it can take 5 seconds or more to go to
the next row in a scrolling region. It runs fine if I only start the app on one
computer, but if I start it on a second computer the slowdown begins. To make
sure it was not a network issue, I loaded the old program on the new network
and it works fine. The main fuction of my app is to launch an compiled app from
a menu, this creates a temp table to enter new data into a form with a
scrolling region. One difference between new and old is that in the old I
projected a temp table from a table, and on the new I created the temp table
with the same structure-would this make a difference. I understand that a temp
table is created in memory, is that on the computer where it is running, what
about the form? Anybody have any ideas cause I'm sure open to suggestions.
