I am supposed to install a full version of R:base on 5 workstations that connect to the database on the server. And for the moment, there are no images at all in the database. The patient reports are saved in a Var char BLOB field but the images are saved as files outside the database. But I suppose I could think about your solution if only I was certain that there is no other problem besides network speed (which is fine for all other apps). thanks, Luc D. From: A.G.

Normally I make use of a different hardware setup I have installed a server (with 4 processors costs are about 600 / 700 Euros VAT excl.), with R:base on it. Then create a remote connection with the server (using different logins) and startup Rbase and the application on the server. I am not that technical, but in this way all the processing is done at the server and only the output is sent to your PC. If I remember myself correctly your application contains a lot of HR images and it could be the case these images ruin your performance. The described solution works wonderful and you have a high speed performance. Hope this helps.

This application runs fine and fast when run on one PC. the latest version of R:base is installed on my PC's. When I put two recent PC's in a network via a 100 Mbit/sec switch, with the database in a shared directory on PC A, it still runs well on PC A, but when I log in from PC B, it goes SLOW on this PC and eventually locks up, so that I have to restart R:base on PC B. (PC A : 6 GB RAM, 1 Tb HDD...PC B : 4GB RAM and 500 MB HDD) I don't dare to image what a disaster this could in a small network with 5-6 workstations. It must be that I am overlooking something in the network setup. Could anyone give me 'to do'list on what to do exactly and in what order so to get a workable network application. This network thing is the last step I have to make in my conversion from Access to R:base. (sometimes I begin to regret I didn't stick with Access...as far as this network thing is concerned).... Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Luc Delcoigne
