    Am working through it trying to find more clues. It seems to be something to do with valuelists - the longer the lists, the longer they take to come thru' the webcompanion (ie much faster in 4.1 and slow in 5.5). The code is: [fmp-valuelist: itema, list=levels] <option value="==[fmp-valuelistitem]">[fmp-valuelistitem] [/fmp-valuelist] Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks _Andrew [ January 30, 2002: Message edited by: AndrewB ]

    I'm slowly getting there. It's something to do with the file relationships getting screwed up, but I've tried every recommended way to fix them including re-doing them all and no good. Help! Thanks -Andrew

    Hi On further investigation, anything that goes thru' the webcompanion in FM5.5 Unlimited seems much slower than FM4.1's webcompanion. Any thoughts? Thanks _Andrew

    Hi Thanks for these thoughts. No - everyone here uses Explorer (we standardised a while back) - and it's giving the problems. Any thoughts? -Andrew

    Hi Tried recovering the files in FM4.1 and FM5.5, ie before and after the conversion without any luck. Anyone got any other ideas? Thanks again. -Andrew

    Help me! :-) I've just in the process of upgrading our company's web-based FMPro dbase. It used to run on FM4.1. When upgraded the database takes many times *longer* to log a user on (the html pages use portal and other commands to fetch the list of users from the dbase), but once in the dbase searches etc are *many* times faster. Is there a secret setting that I'm missing to speed up the log-on? The html is copied below. I'd really really appreciate your help. Thanks -Andrew <body> <h2>Database ([fmp-currenttoken]): Login</h2> <center> Please select user i.d., enter password, and press "Login": <form action="fmpro" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="-db" value="[fmp-currentdatabase: raw]"> <input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="check_login"> <input type="hidden" name="-recid" value="[fmp-currentrecid]"> <input type="hidden" name="-edit"> <table> <tr> <td align=right> User : <td colspan=2> <select name="_user"> [fmp-if: currentcookie:cdb_user .eq.] <option value="" selected>- select your id - [fmp-else] <option value="[fmp-cookie:cdb_user]" selected>[fmp-cookie:cdb_user] [/fmp-if] [fmp-portal: show_users] <option value="[fmp-field: show_users::user]">[fmp-field: show_users::user] [/fmp-portal] </select> <tr> <td align=right> Password : <td colspan=2> <input type=password name="_passwd"> </table> <input type="hidden" name="_ip_addr" value="[fmp-clientip]"> <input type="hidden" name="client_state: b_name" value="[fmp-currenttoken]"> <input type="hidden" name="-script" value="check_login"> <input type="hidden" name="-target" value="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="-format" value="add_menu.cdml"> <input type="submit" value="Login !"> </form> </body>

    Hi You guys have been very helpful to me in the past, so I will ask another daft question! ;-) I'm using: <form action="fmpro" method="post"> ... <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> to perform a search through my web-based database (running on a PC based server). Instead of just the busy mouse icon, I'd also like to display an animated .gif to pretty things up a bit (a la expedia) - is there a way of interrupting the messaging to the filemaker dbase so that I can change the display before filemaker starts the search? Thanks -Andrew [ September 14, 2001: Message edited by: AndrewB ]

    I've had much the same problems recently. We have a 12,000 record database running under FM4.1 on a PIII 600. Our internal users access it through a web front end, even though they weren't being properly displayed. Last weekend I did 3 hours worth of investigation about why it's so slow. A user does a search which results in 150 records. This search takes the FM4.1 server around 2 seconds. To transfer this list from the server to the web interface takes an additional 16 seconds! I thought maybe it was the HTML construction of the display of the records which was taking the extra time, so I removed everything between: [fmp-record] and [/fmp-record] and it still took 14+ seconds to transfer the 150 records to the web front-end. So...my question is...how does I speed this transfer up? I could use a faster machine for the server, but it won't get much much faster. Any suggestions?
