Make sure NetBEUI protocol is in your network configuration (faster for
shared directory access, I believe) and all network cards / access
points are told which cable mode 10/100 full/half to connect rather than
relying on "auto negotiation" settings. Use a network switch rather than
a hub, and use a good reviewed make rather than a no name N-way.

Line 50 v.10 if you've got that, has got some stupidly implemented
treeview controls in the report designer which cause a lot of network
traffic to regenerate views of available templates etc. During this,
you'll be convinced your machine has crashed. There is an option to
disable this refresh - I don't remember where it is, it was some time
ago ;-(

Also, make very sure that your wireless setup has ALL the security
features in use. For this type of application, if you have the choice,
I'd lay network cable. Not only for speed & security - what you've
basically got is a database based on shared disk file concepts (like
Access) which only needs a small sneeze to corrupt itself.

If you are using operating systems later than Win98 then refer to the
following Access focused document particulary about "Opportunistic
Locking". This is as applicable to Sage and might solve your multi-user
issue.

http://www.sageforum.co.uk/ is a good resource as well.



Very helpful. I'll have a go this weekend. The version we use no. 7

I hadn't heard of the forum, it sounds good also.

Many thanks
