Are they on the same LAN as the server with the DBFs?
I agree...not huge for VFP but for reasons I can't explain, it's slow.
Of course the tech folks at Corporate think it's pulling the entire dbf
file etc over the LAN (and maybe they've done analysis to support that
with SysInternals...not sure), but I've seen it to be slow. Many lines
of legacy code that weren't written for full optimizations, so it is
what it is.
Yes, I believe the same LAN. Workstations connecting to the inhouse
Corporate server box...which then communicates with the MotherShip and
sends all their data back there too. I believe the servers are
underpowered and not configured correctly but of course that's
off-limits to anybody but The Man at Corporate.
