Oh yeah, you have NO idea how much I hate that stupid "not responding" message! It confuses the users so much! I really do have to tell everyone to totally ignore that, that it's not RBase giving that message but rather Windows simply because something is taking more than a second or two to process.

Windows allows a certain amount of time for a process to finish, and if it has not completed pops up this annoying message. When a large database is collecting data for a complex report, this invariably pops up on my screen.

But we also wanted the flexibility you mentioned because I am constantly updating forms/reports or creating new forms and reports. So we changed and now bring forms and reports up as needed. I am not an IT person and we depend on an outside IT company. When you said, “depending on the network” what factors of the network would present this kind of slow processing? Going from 1 – 2 seconds to 8 seconds for a form to come up is a big difference. I also get a “not responding” statement quite often though it is really working.

I choose to keep the forms and reports not included in the application and keep the application and database on the server. While the performance is not as good, it is plenty fast (depending on your network) and it gives me the ability to update forms/reports on the fly on a live database and the next time the user open the form/report, the new version is used…can’t beat the flexibility this approach allows.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Belisle Sent: Monday, June 27, 2016 12:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - speed in form coming up We use the last version of RBASE 9.5 and we use a compiled application drawing our data from the server. The forms and reports are not included in the compiled application. Many of our forms come up using the on key press forms that work great. Once we double click on the on key press form, the actual editing form comes up. If I use this process on my local drive, the editing form comes up quickly (1 – 2 seconds). When using the process on the server, it takes upwards of 8 seconds for the editing form to come up. I know including the forms and reports in the application is supposed to be faster but I did not think it would be that big a difference. Are there other areas I can look at or suggest to the IT company we use?
