Karen, We experienced the same problem in our upgrade to Windows. One solution was to upgrade from a hub to a switch. It's much more expensive for a switch over a hub, but you will see the difference immediately. Also check your server's antivirus software. Make sure it is not set to scan RBase .RB files and the program extensions you may use (.rmd?) After putting in switches and changing the server virus settings, our slow speed issues went away

I KNOW we have rehashed this a dozen times but how about one more time? I'm about to go live on a DOS-to-Windows conversion (up to date version of RBWin) on a W2K network with Win98 workstations. Their current 6.5+ DOS just flies and has never had any problems under this network. The speed is great and I've never had memory leakage problems. In the testing phase of RBWin, they're all complaining about how slow everything is. Of course, the one initial CONNECT takes about 5 seconds. There's a form based on a 1-row dummy table that can take 10 seconds to load. The application flies on a local drive. Again the main user form is brought up based on a primary key search, same thing -- can take 10 seconds to come up. Immediate if it's local. I went back and reread all the email I've been saving about this topic. There's no App.Exp so there's no extra connects around. I read about tweaking Norton AV settings (which I know they have) and will do that. I also read about a possible 'time out' fix (Net Config Server /autodisconnect:-1) so will try that too. Any other tips that people have found lately? Their network guys support other RBase clients, so are familiar with the product, and they point their fingers back at us.
