Thanks We have several copies of our *.RB* files as backups Sounds like I need to delete them or move them to a new folder
I thought RBase would only look at the ones I was connected to? Live and learn. Thanks Marc From: John Docherty Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 4:13 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Speed Marc, One thing I have discovered is that if you have a number of database files in the current folder R:Base will repeatedly 'look' at those. On my XP machine CPU usage was up to 50% (two CPUs so 100% of one) until I deleted all of the redundant RB? and RX? Files - now it is back to 'normal'. If you use PROCOM.EXE (MS process monitor) you can soon see the events associated with the R:Base exe - I found a lot of files being accessed that weren't part of what I was actually using. (RBTI have confirmed that this is what R:Base should be doing so I have improved my 'housekeeping' and cleared out all redundant database files.)

Also will having too many Windows temp files in the TMP folder slow down RBase? I Thanks Marc
