The enterprise version is not true client server (thats why you still need to have a share with wide open permissions to the company files) so make sure networking is solid. I had one case where the database service didn't start on the server and the users complained about slowness. How big is

The database service definitely needs to be running. Even though they tout they have an enterprise version it really isn't a true database server. So stuff still works but really slow when the database service isn't running. On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 11:00 AM, jesse-r...@wi.rr.com
