Subject Re: Server setup From <rich@autotraker.com> <<rich@autotraker.com>> Date Sat, 23 Mar 2019 11:13:43 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Until recently I did the same. We even have an entire scheme to "mark" the objects internally with a version number and date rather than rely on the file date. Recently I abandoned with this approach because we just have too many DEO objects and checking easy one and copying locally got to be too slow. Now we just use the program version, recording it on the server and each workstation on startup makes sure they are using the newest program version. It actually take less time for us just to copy everything locally than checking each individual DEO object. Smaller programs are efficient enough to compare individual files as you have found. It’s a great approach. Rich... "Juan Pedro>"  wrote in message news:30V1yYW4UHA.700@ip-AC1E04A7... In fact, when working with DEO, the best results are obtained with locally copied DEO objects. To combine the advantage of having the DEO objects in network with the speed of the local DEO objects, we can create a DEO store in the server and the local EXEs, when they start, compare their local objects with those of the warehouse incorporating the differences between the network store and local objects always starting with the latest version of the program.
