Opening files?

Hi there - I have created a number of files for my company. They include 'clients' 'suppliers' 'library' etc. I have created a 'start up' script that opens all my files and minimizes them - awiting to be used.

I have added buttons to each layout/file that 'opens' one of the files. BUT if I am the host it is quick and opens instantly. However, if i am a guest then it takes up to 8-10secs to open the file. It appears as though it is searching onto our server for the file.

HOW CAN I JUST GET IT TO OPEN THE FILES QUICKER? SHOULD 'OPEN' ONLY BE USED IN THE START UP SCRIPT? AND SOMETHING ELSE WHEN ALL THE FILES ARE OPEN??

Try putting a "Show" script in each database, containing one step "Refresh window [bring to front]"

Then to switch between databases, run this as an external script.

Also, if you're using AppleTalk, you'll probably want to switch to TCP/IP (it's in the application preferences on each machine).
