First of all, Happy New Year!
We are currently operating a network from our mainoffice to a satelite office 80 miles away. We are upgrading from 4.0 to 4.5 in the near future, but for now, we are noticing a real slow response, in the satelite office, when entering into change mode, > 1 minute to begin changes. I think this may be the problem and want to see if anyone concurs with it. Out technical services staff say that we are running 10mb routers, all of the workstations are optimized. The main database has about 8 dataases that it shares data with. Now I think that we opening then log database which says look to the file server 80 miles away, which says okay now open the linking database back in the satelite office which says the actual database is at the main office, etc..... It would appear that the number of linked databases and the number of lookup databases may seriously affect the time needed to open each record. I am told that it would help if we had the 100mb routers to transfer data which would dramatically improve speed thus improve the communication of the main dtabase and the linked databases. Does this sound like the problem? I am very happy to say that my employer has decided to use my software which was over 3 years in developement and now has the support of the higher administrative staff including the tech support division. So I wanted this software to work as flawlessly as possible and it seems to be working out, just it would be nice to provide a more efficient program at the satelite office.
Thanks again for all of the help in the past.
