Search Again: FileMaker 5 issues From: Thomas Fox Date: Wednesday, July 5, 2000 Time: 9:17:43 am Hello folks, We upgrade to FM5 over the weekend and are having a few issues. I had been in contact with tech support when we attempted to convert from the runtime to using FM3/FM4 server, but really didn't get anywhere. So, I thought I'd try the list to see if anyone else here has experienced these issues: 1. FileMaker with Server runs S-L-O-W!!! Using FM5 Server on a PIII 500Mhz Machine with 128Mb of RAM the files serve to clients using FM5 very, very slowly - it takes upwards of 3 minutes to get to the log on screen. We went through and tested protocols, made sure there were no duplicate files, etc. when we tried to convert to FM4 server. We gave up and went back to the runtime, which wasn't speedy, but was faster than using the FM4 server at the time. We're on 100Mb switched ethernet internally, and our network load isn't burdensome. When attempting the FM4 Server conversion we tried: - Changing IP addresses - Switching to a different server machine - Several different clients - ran cables direct from the server to the switch (bypassing the internal building wiring) - same thing re: cabling for workstations - changed to IPX protocol instead of IP Any ideas or suggestions would be great! 2. How can we get single icon load functionality using FM5 on the clients, rather than going through the file/open/ hosts dialog? Thanks! Tom Fox Thomas Fox, President/CEO The FoxBerry Group Inc.
