Cheryl:
If you just install R:Base on a file server and attempt to run the code
from that location, you will notice degradation in speed.
However, if you use Terminal Server, and the server has dual processors,
lots of memory, and fast hard drives, and the database resides on those
hard drives, you should get a very speedy system.
We are testing such a system at this time for one of our clients.
For right now, we plan on just bringing up the W2K server as a file
server, and then gradually switching the users to Terminal Server. I plan
on benchmarking all of this as we go.
I'll let the list know how we make out.

Subject: RE: Upgrading to R:BASE for Windows 6.5++
I recall being told that R:BASE ran better and faster when it was
installed
locally, so that's what I did. If we keep increasing our users it makes
sense to switch to a server location. Perhaps this would be a good time
to
do it. Would I need to make any other changes besides installing R:BASE
on
the server and changing the icon pointers? Should I expect any
differences
in the way R:BASE will function?

If you haven't changed the code for specific 6.5++ code then you should
not
have to lock everyone out.
That is one reason why I have my 60 or 70 users running R:Base from the
server. I just need to change/update the server and I'm done.

Subject: Upgrading to R:BASE for Windows 6.5++
I'm ready to upgrade our group of about 20 users to R:BASE for Windows
6.5++. R:BASE for Windows v6.5+ (1.833xRT03) is currently installed on
each
computers hard drive. I have heard that it's important for everyone to be
running the same version of R:BASE. Does this mean I need to lock
everyone
out of the databases for an afternoon while I run from computer to
computer
deleting the old version and installing v6.5++? Any tricks or advice to
facilitate the transition? Thanks!
Cheryl
