Hi Jeff.

Make sure you are running the apps locally and not off the server. HTH

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.

We are using VFP 7.0 SP1 and native VFP tables. All users are running Win XP
Pro SP2 and our file server is running Win 2003 Server.

We are running a network with about 30 users. Each user has 3 or 4 VFP apps
open with each app opening up to 40 tables. Most tables have memo fields so
each table opens 3 files. There are some forms with private data sessions
that open their own copies of from 25-30 tables (with memo fields). Some of
these forms are opened and closed repeatedly throughout the day.

Are there any performance issues with using VFP tables and Win 2003 server
as I have outlined above? We are attempting to figure out why we are having
network performance issues and it has been suggested that the large number
of open files caused by the configuration that I have outlined could be
impacting network performance severely. Does anyone know if this could be
the case or if there are special configuration issues for Win 2003 Server
that should be applied when using a large number of native VFP tables.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Jeff
