Slow Photo Database

[nadia808]

So we've got a photo database (designed from the photo template). We've got a Filemaker server computer, then we've got a Mac office server, where the photos are residing on a shared drive. All the images are being referenced through thumbnails.

Basically, one computer may react differently to the database, depending on what user is logged in. User A may log-in and be able to "see" the referenced picture files, and be able to flip through them very fast. . But User B may log in and "see" the files, but the database runs soooo slow...it takes up to 15 seconds to flip from picture to picture.

Any help or assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Even our IT guy couldn't figure this one out.

did you open your solution using filemaker pro and filemaker server from the same computer?

Well, working on the client computer, I opened Filemaker Pro first, then >> Open Existing File >> Hosts and then found the file I was looking for, which was residing on the server.
