All processes involving history are verrry slooow....

[rlgap]

Whenever we use a process or try to print out something that relies on looking up history the time it takes has suddenly gotten very long.
For instance, running a daily invoice register typically takes about 10 seconds. For the last few days it has taken more than a minute each time. Other processes that seem to be effected are posting cash reciepts and cash reciepts register. No other programs that we run on this computer are having a similar problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated....
Thanks,
Ray

What OS/NOS are you running? How many computers?

Also, some people has found that the Auto-Protect feature of some Anti-Virus software packages decreases the execution speed of some Peachtree modules. Try turning it off.

Have you added more computers to the network? or changed the Switch/Hub? Check the Network (Cat5) cables.

Some apps work better that others with limited Bandwidth, my experience tells me that Peachtree is a network intensive app. Maybe there a hardware fault somewhere but you haven't noticed it much in some apps except from Peachtree.

are you on a network? if so have you recently rebooted all workstations and the server??

or you didnt by chance get a new printer??

Hi, I thank you both for writing but this is a stand alone PC and no change in configuration including no new printers recently. I think it might have to do with our index file being over 40 meg but I don't know what to do about it....
Still hoping for some ideas...
Thanks, Ray

ALSO IF YOU HAVE A SORTJOB.DAT FILE IN YOUR DATA DIRECTORY FOR THE COMPANY, YOU CAN DELETE OR RENAME IT AND IT WILL RECREATE ITSELF. THAT FILE HELPS PROCESS REPORTS QUICKER.

That did it. You are a very fine friend.
