In my experience it depends on your network speed. I try to keep my files under a 100 on a gigabit network.

How many files would be considered a high amount?

I'm not sure if anyone would know the answer to this, but what if the database is located in a separate directory? RBase would be run from the program directory which could have many many files, connect to the database in another directory .... Karen
