How does Paradox stack up against Access for use of system memory while minimised? How about
for speed, especially in data entry via forms?
Many thanks!

About the same, IMHO. Actually PDOXWIN uses a little MORE memory due to
IDAPI buffer settings. On the other hand, Connectix's RamDoubler for
Windows may be able to help you there, if you're just running out of
resources. If you actually mean "it's very slow since it's using virtual
memory", then you really need 16 megs.

1. Thanks for responses on System Performance - it is update performance
Thanks for responses. Have not had time to try your recommendations, but
will try early next week.
It is update performance that is the major problem after adding the
additional index. It is not that I added the 6th index - it appears
that others have capability to add indexes and now there are 11 indexes.
As someone else on the list suggested, I had already gotten rid of the
indexes that had duplicate beginning variables, before asking for help.
But it seems that the person that designed this table, thought the only
way to search for specific fields (or order by) in an .ace report was to
add additional indexes.
Looks like I need to look at who's adding the additional indexes and
why, then take on the power of 4gl to write reports instead of using
ace.
Thanks again for the help, will let you all know if I am able to
get things to performing right.
