fm 8.5 slow

[neldom]

I am almost at 30K records in only one file. That is about 10 years wking with the same database upgrading it up to this version. Problem: It seems that is getting slow specially if I need to duplicate a record or run a little complicated script. I never mess with memory settings cause it gave me problems in the past...(kinda when you burn y/self with milk you see a cow and begin to cry...)I recognize that is stupid of me, but really never had a need after all until now that I feel something needs to be done with speed.

Any suggestions?

Hi neldom,

It's probably not your imagination, over time files do get blotted. You might try the File Maintenance Tool in 8.5 Tools >> File Maintenance or save a copy of the file compressed.

File >> Save a copy as >> compacted copy (smaller)

I'll try that. Thank you Mr. Smith!
