>>>I just moved my sourcesafe databases from my local machine to my server (Win2000K). Now when I am in VFP6 on my local machine and Modify Project xxx, it takes forever to bring up the project. Is there some way I can speed this up? My machine is a Win98SE P3 800 (256 MB RAM) and the server is a Win2000K P2 450 (256 MB RAM). No one else uses sourcesafe and it was quick enough before the move. (The network is 100 BaseT using a switch). No other network issues.

I'm getting old so I don't like to do a bunch of stuff then test because I forget what I coded. :)

If Doug's solutions isn't the problem, do you have at least Visual Studio SP4 installed? There were several fixes in there that were speed related to VSS and networks. Also make sure you have purged "deleted" files form your VSS projects. That helps alot, too.

My project open times went from 3:10 seconds to :11 seconds after I purged deleted files and applied the SP's (I got them as hot-fixes before they were rolled into SP4).
