Hi Ramil

I thought it was common knowledge that putting the exe on the local machine improves performance. This can best be accomplished by using an application launcher. If you are creating a views dbc, that also should go on the local workstation. You can't avoid having the data shared, but don't share things you don't need to.

>We have an application that uses local views against a VFP database. When we ran our application locally, both exe and data is on the local drive, the performance is good. Opening the application locally three times does not significantly affect the performance of the application.

Given that I was the first user to login to the application, the performance degrades for each new user. But, when all the other users logout of the application, the performance on my instance of the application never recovers back to the original performance. It still drags as if there are still other users logged on.
