There are some networking programming practices that would render the 
settings in the BDE to be powerless.  A common problem is filtering and or 
sql select statements with complex where clauses.  Sometimes building simple 
indexes for each field that is in the where clause.

If the app design is not to reliant on sql "where clauses" then it is
better 
to use setRange() and or other index methods for displaying data.

Is this a new app that you just deployed or are you seeing this slow down 
gradualy get worse?

It's a work in progress, some 15 years.  Just started having the problems in the
last 1-2 months.

Terry,

Be sure the BDE settings are not the default values but are set to their 
maximum values. Things like MAXBUFFERSIZE, etc. The defaults are from 
many years ago when computers had a lot less RAM.

Thanks Geoff,

Is there some where that I could refer to for suggestions on maximum setting?
