Karen,
I had also originally done your suggestion but the time was killing us. If we could get Windows 7 and Server 2008 to not be so aggressive with security it might help.

With my latest 9.5 client we wanted to go to an external file as the startup, and do a connect/disconnect at every menu to avoid hung connections at backup time. But it takes so long to do each command (probably 10 seconds) that we were asked to drop it. We have just the 4 DB files, 1 startup program and the 1 EFF in our testing environment. So it wasn't the number of files. On a standalone environment, it still took probably 7 seconds, so a little better but still pretty slow.

I have the number of files in the database directory down to 8 including the 4 .rb? files. The database is pretty big, the .rb2 file is about 1.8 gig. When I trace my code looking for speed enhancements, it seems that the slowest commands are connect, sconnect and disconnect. How long should those commands take to complete? I guess I am used Rbase for DOS where the times are nearly instant. TIA. Mike
