Optimal Paradox 10 on Windows XP Pro Configuration

[aaronjmack]

I have a small Windows 2003 Server network with Windows XP Pro clients running P3's \ P4's with at least 256 MB RAM. All users have Paradox 10 installed locally, with the Net Driectory pointed to a single network share - accessing data located in folders under that share.

Some of the Paradox scripts we use take a very long time to go through the data, and I was wondering what configuration changes I could make to provide better performance.

In the Init section of BDE Admin I see things like MinBuffSize, MaxFileHandles, etc. but am not sure if that would help.

Any help would be appreciated (especially from Lance :}).

Aaron,

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm afraid someone else has already posted some really useful information for this sort of thing. Take a peek at

and

http://bdesupport.com/stability.htm

for some initial impressions.

Also, you may find

http://www.thedbcommunity.com/faq/29.htm

useful as well, as XP is a derivative of NT.

hope this helps...
