Hi! I've asked this a couple of times in the FSA TALK developers conference but Im getting no response!! I've found that in Windows ME, Filemaker seems to make a copy (or something...) of the entire database before it opens it. One of our databases is over 30 meg and even on my 933mhz machine it takes over 20 seconds to open! Another one is over 300 meg and this one takes almost 4 minutes to open!! The exact same files open in a few seconds under windows 98 or 95! NO other program (including Access, Excell, Sound Forge, Photoshop5 and 6, Illustrator 8 and 9, etc) on my machine does this! This only occurs when the file is on a local drive. I just opened the 350meg file from a network drive and it opens immediately. I've tried with version 3 and version 5. Same results with each. If anyone has ANY clues or ideas why this is happening, Id really appreciate it!! Thanks! Scott
