I have a VFP application running on Novell 4.1 netware. Recently, my user tried to run it across a 256K leased line to an office 400m away and find the speed unacceptable.

I am considering whether to upgrade it to Client Server OR run it separate and do a batch update each day.

From your past experience, which is more feasible?

Also, can the slowness cause by wrong configuration? I tried opening an Excel file (1.79M) in the server and it takes 2.5 minutes as opposed to 2s on local.

Thank you.
