Why so slow

[Rick Hane]

I asked this question a while back and never solved the problem.  Now I have 
to do so so here I go again,

System... Win 2000Pro network, filepro 4.05 16 user (with quickstart 
runtimes).  All workstations have either Win NT or Win 2000Pro installed.  
They also have the full fp directory on each workstation.  The filepro 
directory resides on the server in a shared folder called Filepro.

to be clearer the path on the server is D:\Filepro\filepro and D:\Filepro\fp

Situation... All the workstations run with acceptable speed and have for 
years.  Now I wanted to set up the server to be usable as an input station 
as well.  The reason (which has nothing to do with the problem) was that the 
owner wants to access the sustem at night from home via terminal services. I 
added my fp.bat to D:\ and off I went. (sample of file listed below)

Problem... Every input be it a menu selection or input in a file takes 
(literally) 5 - 9 seconds to either execute or display on the screen.  Again 
the workstation at the same time work great.  I am going nuts.  In my 20+ 
years working with filepro I have never seen this.

Sample of fp.bat (located in D:\)
set PFNET=ON
set PFSYNC=ON
set PFDSK=D
set PFPROG=D:
set PFDATA=D:
set PFDIR=\filepro
set PFCMARK=80
set PFRETRY=20
p dbs
cd\
cls

Please help before I go nuts. (more than I am)

Thank you,
Rick Hane
