Hello,
I have a question about ileMaker Pro speed.
Actually we run this application on a 20 Mac network. The server (where we
store the database files) itself is a Mac Quadra 950 running AppleShare 3.0,
and connected through Ethernet.

We always work on the same 4 major databases. Actually, the first user turning
on his Mac starts FileMaker. Then every user is a client to his database.

I've heard that letting start FileMaker on the server itself instead of a 
user's Mac with the requested databases is faster.

Is it true that we access the dabase faster when running on the server ?

Thanks for your help !

Sincerely,

Steve Jordi
