6.Multi-User File - A FileMaker Pro file being utilized by several users can cause slow processing and print times. Also, a user with a slow system in a Multi-User file can cause very slow times (A Multi-User file operates at the speed of the host machine). The more users connected to a Multi-User file - the slower the response times and print times. Multi-User files also increases Network traffic significantly - even if only one user is using the file.
7.Low cache allocation - A low print cache or disk cache allocation may cause slow print times for both Macintosh and Windows systems. If possible increase cache size.
8.Multiple applications - Multiple applications running simultaneously on a system without sufficient memory can cause slow file response and print times.
For more information on printing problems see sections 10 (Printing) and Appendix A (Notes and Warnings).
Multi-User Electronic Forms
Multi-User forms and other File Maker Pro files, even if only one user is using the file, causes increased data traffic on a network which can cause a network slowdown and even a complete shutdown. As a courtesy to other network users it is recommended that users keep Multi-User FileMaker Pro files to a minimum.
