It sounds like both problems could be related. I
can't really help with the win 98 server, but I do have our database on a 2000
server. The only time I saw degredation in performance with multiple users
was when I didn't properly index my tables. My guess would be that
the problem you have is (we've heard this before) network hardware
issues. Either bad NICs or cabling issues. That could cause both
corruption in the database and poor performance.

I'm sitting here helping out another consultant who has
significant database corruption at several clients. I have
practically no corruption at any of my clients. One common
thread he thought of -- these clients have XP or 2000
workstations connecting to a database on a Windows 98
database server. Anyone have this configuration?
BTW the reason it's on Win98, is that when he had the
database on W2000 server he said that one user logging in
had no problems. As soon as one other person connected
the performance degraded significantly. Putting the database
on Win98 server put the performance back. So I guess another
question would be if there was a fix for that.....
thank!
