Jan, 

Thanks for sharing the results of your troubleshooting. We’re similarly on a 
1GB LAN (all hardware,cabling,NIC’s, Switches) and are enjoying performance of 
our R:BASE compiled app.

 

And apropos with your form issue, just this morning had a similar occurrence 
with a report which was a head scratcher and all usual items checked to no 
success. So, in 15 minutes I recreated the same design and all is fine again – 
15 minutes well spent and in my case and perspective, a lot quicker than hours 
of asking “why” and looking all over the place. Now, there are times I must 
know “why” but not in this case; suspect disruption in last night’s 
backup/optimization routine – dirty “power” and failed UPS!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Server problem resolved

 

Well,


 

The good news is that I located my server challenge.


 

It appears that a couple of my R:BASE forms “broke”. I can't tell you why. 
Perhaps they ended up over a bad spot on the hard drive.


 

As many of you know, I am a big fan of the Variable List View. I use it in a 
lot of places. My main startup form has them. Now for whatever, the form would 
work fine with 2 or 3 people logged in but would burp after that and it would 
take maybe 3 minutes for a person to log in.


 

I just recreated the ListView and we are back up and running.


 

There are still a couple of problems that I'm working through. One of them has 
to do with images in a form but I also know that there has been a lot of recent 
work on that so I'm being patient until the next update.


 

I know it is a form problem because I can do a save from a data row with an 
image but if I try to save a row from within a form with an image, I get 
totally thrown out. I only have 2 forms with images and they both do the same. 
This also only occurs across the network. Run these forms on my local machine 
and they are fine. I'm just waiting until the next update before I chase this 
one further as my folks have a work-around.


 

The other good news is that I know that I have a healthy network now. All the 
wiring has been checked, new switch in place, every machine has a 1GB NIC in it 
and at least 1GB of RAM. Finally my new 2008 server should arrive shortly.


 

Please understand that I don't believe any of this to be a problem with R:BASE.


 

Jan
