>This is a multi-user application that runs fine on the local network, but takes a minute and a half just to open the dozen tables when using Dial-up Networking at 24K baud. I dial in using the connection dialog for their server defined in my Dial-up networking folder. This connects and logs me on to their server. I then map a network drive to the root directory where the application is on the server. I then select the application from the local machine's Start/Programs menu. The EXE, the Foxpro 2.6 run-time library, the CONFIG.FPW file, the resource file, and the library DLLs used by the application are all located in the start-up directory of the local machine. All I do is set the Foxpro path to the root directory on the mapped network drive. Is this the best I can do, or am I doing something obviously wrong? The application is unusable remotely as the situation currently stands.
This is perfectly normal. You are accessing a table via the dialup feature which will make everything runs extremly slow. You need to move to Client/Server is you wish to do that. Or, to use any other Internet mecanism.
