All my compiled apps are around 5.4 mb. I do not include anything forms/reports/etc in the compiled app. My compiled app loads and connects to a database(with other users connected) within 5 seconds.
Here are some things I would check: Make sure you are running on a gigabit connection to the server. You should be able to transfer a 100 mb file to/from the server within 2-3 seconds. If not, you have narrowed down your problem. Also, you might check your anti-virus. Turn it off and see if it improves.

I am running Server 2008 with 1GB machines and Windows 7. That's when I started seeing the messages "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" -----Original Message----- From: "Dan Goldberg" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:55:59 -0700 Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: compiled app I have been running with option 1 for years. The compiled app is only 6 megs so it loads in less than a blink of an eye over our gigabit network. If you are not running gigabit I would do it. it is very cheap nowadays to do. Rbase fly's over gigabit. I have never seen any message about the exe being safe. If you Google it, it will tell you how to turn off the message if you get it. If you go with option 2 you will need to copy that app to each machine every time you update it.

I have been using the compiler for years but am looking at my configuration. There are 2 basic ways to use this on a server. 1. Compile the app to an EXE an place it on a server Pros Ease of maintenance and distribution Pathing is easy (put a shortcut on a machine with the "start in" for the server which allows easy access to subfolders) Cons The app has to be pulled across the network each time and answer the question "is this exe safe?" 2. Compile the app and place it on each machine Pros App on machine. Only data is transfered (especially if you put your forms in the EXE) No security question Cons Pathing to subfolders of database is more difficult I would really like suggestions on solving the con of option 2. TIA Jan
