luc, can you try to start one of the sample rbase apps to see if the small samples are also slow in performance.
if so than it is not in your rbase app but in rbase setting or in the network. maybe you can test if you use pc b as server with one of the sample rbase apps and see if pc a is also slow. marco ----- Original Message ----- From: Luc Delcoigne To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 10:25 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - re: network trouble Hi Tony, This is not the setup that I had in mind. I am supposed to install a full version of R:base on 5 workstations that connect to the database on the server. And for the moment, there are no images at all in the database. The patient reports are saved in a Var char BLOB field but the images are saved as files outside the database. But I suppose I could think about your solution if only I was certain that there is no other problem besides network speed (which is fine for all other apps). thanks, Luc D. From: A.G.

Normally I make use of a different hardware setup I have installed a server (with 4 processors costs are about 600 / 700 Euros VAT excl.), with R:base on it. Then create a remote connection with the server (using different logins) and startup Rbase and the application on the server. I am not that technical, but in this way all the processing is done at the server and only the output is sent to your PC. If I remember myself correctly your application contains a lot of HR images and it could be the case these images ruin your performance. The described solution works wonderful and you have a high speed performance. Hope this helps.

This application runs fine and fast when run on one PC. the latest version of R:base is installed on my PC's. When I put two recent PC's in a network via a 100 Mbit/sec switch, with the database in a shared directory on PC A, it still runs well on PC A, but when I log in from PC B, it goes SLOW on this PC and eventually locks up, so that I have to restart R:base on PC B. (PC A : 6 GB RAM, 1 Tb HDD...PC B : 4GB RAM and 500 MB HDD) I don't dare to image what a disaster this could in a small network with 5-6 workstations. It must be that I am overlooking something in the network setup. Could anyone give me 'to do'list on what to do exactly and in what order so to get a workable network application. This network thing is the last step I have to make in my conversion from Access to R:base. (sometimes I begin to regret I didn't stick with Access...as far as this network thing is concerned).... Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Luc Delcoigne
