   Craig to All   
   I need help in asking the right question   
   01 Nov 07 07:05:24   
   
   From: craig.futterman@nospam.comcast.net   
      
   For years my software has run quickly on a local drive but when there are   
   large files on network drives, it slows down terribly when moving from   
   record to record.   
      
   I am going to approach our IT department about, but before I do, I need to   
   know what questions to ask.   
      
   My software is in a large hospital, but at this point it runs stand alone   
   (not netowkred) using Paradox 10 Runtime. I think they use Novel network   
   What are the factors which will slow down performance when a database runs   
   on a network drive?   
   I don't know where to start. I would like to get information, bring it back   
   to this forum and ask for help in sorting this out. Has anyone else run into   
   this problem?   
      
   Thanks in advance   
      
   Craig
