Installed office 2007 on my work PC and this made no difference. All I can put it down to now is my version of windows. PC is XP Pro and laptop is Windows 7.......
We get 800KB/s download speeds from the new server and to open a record its only a few hundred KB max. So yes I do expect it to be fast but obviosuly our gigabit internal network will always be quicker.
I tested from my laptop at home and opens a record between 6-8 seconds which would be fine...
Thanks for the replys. The reason for the current database being so small is that it only contains around 3 test clients. We need to add 300 current clients along with around 100 extra a week.
This is the reason why we have gone for a mysql/mssql backend.
Hi,
we need to connect 4 offices to the same database. We have gone for a hosted dedicated server costing £300 a month. The server is quick and we get download speeds of around 800KB/s which is better than other hosts that we were getting 180KB/s.
Thr problem is out database takes 14 seconds...
