Create a CONFIG.FPW for the app that has the following settings:

progwork=C:\Foxpro
sortwork=C:\FoxPro
editwork=C:\Foxpro
tmpfiles=C:
overlay=C:\Foxpro overwrite

These commands put temporary files on the local drive, which speeds things up vs putting them on the server. In addition, the overlay= command will put the FP overlay file on the local drive, so it doesn't have to keep reading it across the network. The Overwrite clause on this command will tell FP to copy the one from the network to the specified location if the overlay is an older version or is missing. When this happens, the user will see a thermomoter bar showing the copy progress, but after that, it won't have to copy it again and things will be a lot faster.

If that's still not fast enough, then you can put the EXE on each workstation, but you'll need a loader program that checks the version against the server and copies the EXE to the workstation if the one on the server is newer.

At what point are you getting an access denied error when you try to put the EXE on the local workstation?

>I have an application (FoxExpress 2.6 for Windows) the Main Exe is on the Server with the necessary runtime files no challenge runing the App the issue is the because I have 6 to 7 workstations accessing the application via a shortcut. Recently it has become very slow even on the 2.4 gig machines.
