Gasman, thank you for your response, unfortunately the processing environment prevents access to the local device for storage purposes, hence the mapped drives.
arnelgp Thank you for the response, unfortunately I am not using the snapshot capacity. The premise for the database design is to process loan agreements with the PDF to be digitally signed by the borrower. The form is output directly, sign the pdf, hand over the loan equipment move to the next...
I have a form with subform (A4) outputting the content to pdf, in a network environment with the destination being a mapped drive, the process is successful albeit slow, taking around 1.5 minutes to complete the output at 600dpi, reducing the print quality does not improve the processing time...
Old fella been around IT since mid-eighties, wandered into accessworld because of the fragmented and labourious Microsoft documentation system. AccessWorld has made it considerably easier to fill those gaps from the questions in the forms and the resources made available on the site.
Thank you
Been around computers in one form or another since about 1980. More a generalist than a specialist. I look forward to obtaining lots of helpful hints in the Access area.
