>>I log into the VPN then Remote to my computer in the office<<
Yes that makes sense, I do it every day. Straight remote desktop is fairly fast, VPN to Remote Desktop a "little" slower. That being said, I took all form opening and closing behaviors off the forms I log into, because there are obviously multiple screen draws. For example, a form without any behavior may open within 1 second routinely. One with wipes or dissolves takes 10-15 seconds or more. Very frustrating, but not an R:Base problem. The dissolve type behaviors are the worst. Hope this helps someone! Bob C Robert M.

I understand it must be a combination of Remote and VPN. I log into the VPN then Remote to my computer in the office so the computer is tied up on that end. Does that make sense toanyone?

A much better solution for remote access for R:BASE is something like logmein.com<http://logmein.com>, or gotomypc.com<http://gotomypc.com>, or even remote desktop, although these tie up a computer at the other end.

That is why I asked because I thought it might be something in the settings or the form itself I need to change. Maybe I need to bring up just one field in that particular table since the second field is rather large. I will play with it some more.

VPNs and file-server database do not mix. Same would happen if you were using Access, Filemaker, any non-client-server database. Performance is bad because the entire database has to be sent back and forth over your IP connection. We've had this discussion a few times on this forum, the last time it was asked by me because one of my biggest clients complains that they simply cannot work from home over their company's VPN.

Karen I have an order form in the latest 7.6 that runs very slow when I try using it from my remote location at my house. Are there settings either on my computer or within RBASE that will help overcome this? It happens with my detail lines that have auto popup &EEP fields. Another POPUP on the header does not have this problem.
