So it's personal preference. If you have 20 users all in the same building and have access to all of them, place the compiled version on each each computer. If you users are spread out over buildings and states, run it from the server. Jan -Original Message- From: Dawn Hast

Thanks, Dan. I'd have to say that this particular app usually does not update "a row at a time", other than when the user is in an edit form. I'd say almost all of the routines would be updating multiple rows based on some kind of "where" clause. Can't say whether it would be updating 10

I'm wrestling with the decision of whether to use PAGELOCK OFF in one of my bigger X Enterprise databases. Looking at all the "help" documents it seems like the only reason you would want pagelock On (the default) is if you are updating all the rows in a table, with no "where" clause. As in this

I run with both pagelock and rowlock on. I tried turning off pagelock once and my users complained it was slow on updating data. I haven’t got time to do the switching per commands. My commands mostly has many update and deletes many rows at a time. Now you can turn it on or off at any time.

Dan - that's kind of where I was going with that. I've always run it on the server - but I was thinking that if the forms were local to the PC and it just had to retrieve data, then it might be faster in those situations where the network speed was less than optimal. But that introduces the

For me the server is the best. I run a gigabit network so a 10 meg compiled app runs very fast. If I do an updated compiled app they run it the next time the click on the shortcut. I only update the compiled app when rbase pushes out an update. My compiled app just calls the external form
