Bill,

 

"I tested the program on another network and it ran as expected. I am
baffled."

 

I believe you answered your own question; the problem is obviously the
network. Make sure the network cards are properly set up and test each
workstation individually. 

I wrote a program in R:Base that takes a large file from the local
workstation and copies it to the network drive and back and times it; it
will quickly tell you if there is a snag with one workstation that is
slowing down the entire network.

I actually wrote the code to compare network speed for wired versus Wi-Fi
connection but the principle is the same.

I am sure you can quickly write a 20 line program that will do the same. If
you determine the hardware is not causing problems, you can start looking at
the software and settings.

 

Javier,

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Slooow data entry

 

Ok so I have a compiled app running on a server using the latest and
greatest.

 

When the user opens a particular form based on a temporary table, data entry
becomes very slow.

 

It starts  in the first field of the form.(there are only 2 fields to enter
data into).

 

The user starts typing in data and after several seconds the data finally
appears in the field.

 

I have never seen this before and I'm hoping someone has some blues clues as
to why.  The computer UAC is set to lowest level. All other aspects of the
program work fine.

 

Workstation is running Windows 7 PRo with plenty of RAM and disk space. I
tested the program on another network and it ran as expected. I am baffled.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill Eyring
