Why so slow

[GCC Consulting]

Rick,

How is he connecting? The programs may be running fast enough but the screen
refreshes may be very slow.

A better solution would be for him to use pcAnywhere or a service like
"GoToMyPc" to access a pc and not the server from home.  

I hate having anyone accessing the server.  Also, if you upgrade in the future,
Terminal Service client licenses are not included with Win XP and will have to
be purchased separately.  The client license has been included with NT and
Win2K.

Subject: Why so slow

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
