The EXE file is compress in later versions of RBG7RT but it is decompressed before it is sent over the network. I.e, on some networks you may decide to have RB7 on the local hard drive and on others it is fine to have it only on the server. Setting a local scratch file is important.
You mention a 50MB file 2, but don't forget that all forms and reports in file 4 must also be pushed out to each PC, and also portions of the index (file 3) depending on which tables being accessed.
Even a 50MB data base seems big on a slow network.

Hello All,
It seems like I remember an article or discussion on this
at some time in the past but cannot find the information
now that I really need it.
I am looking for a list of all settings and recommendations
for speeding up performance over the network.
My client is using a recent version of 7.1 runtime.
The RB2 file in only 50 megs so I know things should
not be this SLOW. Version 6.5++ was working well on
the same network.
