FWIW, I used to run Rbase on a Novel Netware server, and it was quite a bit faster. I never could recapture that speed, but Netware does not have the dream team...and it is no longer an option. Mike

Have you done this in your environments before ? and if so, what results have you seen on this ? Frank Taylor – Director of Information Technology F.J. O'Hara & Sons, Inc - Araho Transfer Inc.

We did an unload (clean), investigated and found a bunch of mismatched DLLs all over the place. We uninstalled RBase, deleted every RBase DLL left out there, reinstalled and updated. Bummer... same thing. One person is fine, after that no one can move around. I'm not a hardware or networking person, so any suggestions would just get passed onto their IT consultant (who the client said "I wouldn't trust to setup my cell phone"). It had been stressed to the IT guy to exclude all RBase directories from virus checking, and they say he claims he did but I have no idea how to check. Even so, wouldn't the slowness happen even with ONE person attached if it was a virus checking problem? Karen
