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

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

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
