I know this is nothing to do with DBISAM but you're such a clever lot!

A while ago I altered my network (3 PCs) to all WinXP. Operations through programs (eg Word or using a DBISAM app) are just as fast as ever. HOWEVER, if I use Windows Explorer to access files to copy or delete it takes ages.

Any thoughts, suggestions, links?

Roy,

<< Any thoughts, suggestions, links? >>

Do you only have TCP/IP as the network protocol on each machine ?   That
would be the first place I would look.

Yup - TCP/IP only - I got used to deleting NetBUI and IPX/SPX back in the W98 days

The 3 PCs used to be W2K, W2K, XP and I didn't have any trouble now with all XP I do. Maybe Vista will cure it all, maybe pigs WILL learn to fly

How do I select a network drive in it (or even a drive other than C:\)?

Not sure if this will help, but:

My favourite is Total Commander (ex. Windows Commander) which is a Windows
version of the venerable System Commander we all (except you, Rita, of
course, you're much too young used under DOS / DRDOS:
