Hi all.
Has anyone other than me noticed that TF is running really sluggish? Things like double clicking a memo field seem to take time to expand, as well as entering a curser in field.

I haven’t noticed any performance difference.

Hi Jonathan,
Not sure about that. I haven’t noticed it either.
But you might try build 1804 which I released shortly after 1801.
Thanks,

Oh, one thing you can do to speed things up a bit is to use the Compact Database function on the Maintenance tab of the Preferences window.
Thank you both.
Brendan, yes, I just updated to the latest version. And I also did the Compact DB. Interestingly, when I compacted my db, the size according to the Maintenance window, went from 33MB to 55MB. I quit and re-started and then the size went down to 28MB.
Anyway, none of this really did much to speed up my lazy interface. I am resigned to think that it is just my close to nine year old MacPro, which will be replaced sooner than later.
Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
Hmm… try switching to a different view and see if that helps. That is, if you’re using the Single Column List View, try the Multi-Column List View. Maybe that’ll perform better.
You also don’t double-click on a Note field (I’m assuming by memo you meant Note). Just a single-click on the button next to the field title will display it.
Are you using any images in your Note fields? That can cause a performance problem.
Also, if you have big images in your forms, try scaling them down using the Resize All Photos function. That can have a big impact on the database. Although with a 28 MB database, that’s probably not the case.
Brendan.
No images in db. Pretty straightforward name, company, address, city, state, zip, phone, email address, and note/memo fields. ~4500 records. 100% of time in list view to add, edit, delete records. I have a password set for the db. When I type in password and click submit (or isit Open) I get a beachball for about 2 seconds then db opens.
Still wouldn’t be suprised if its old computer syndrome.
