Thanks, Mark. No, I'm not doing any dividing at all. I'm not
even adding anything. Just tracking pickups from local hospitals
and printing some reports out. I have two tables which I put
into a database to get the extra properties, about six forms for
updates, and (planning on) about six reports, with a few online
lookups. Very simple application.
People keep suggesting that I use the VGA or SVGA video drivers,
but those drivers restrict me to 16 colors and either 640x480 or
800x600 dots. That was unacceptable when FP2.0 was released. I
have discovered in Win98 desktop properties, a page to adjust a
"Performance" slider. I found it by right-clicking the desktop,
selecting Properties, then the Settings tab, then the Advanced...
button, then the Performance tab. Settings from high to low are:
All accelerator functions: Use this setting if your computer has no
problems. (Recommended)
Most accelerator functions: Use this setting to correct problems with
the mouse pointer.
Basic accelerator functions: Use this setting to correct more severe
problems, such as unexpected errors in programs.
No accelerator functions: Use this setting only if your computer
frequently stops responding or has other severe problems.
I plan to start on Basic and see if that helps. I'll let you know
how it goes if this doesn't blow the whole thing up. Or if I don't
throw it out the window to see it go faster.
Merci ...
--Bob
