Martin: No local PCs exist. Everyone currently logs on to one of two terminal servers reserved for our use. The data resides on a gigabit connected server with really fast drives. All users see performance similar to what I see on a gaming system laptop running purely local data with exclusive access to the data file. I suppose I could try caching to the application server. Caching locally would cut out the gigabit LAN and prove how much faster the heavy iron is than my laptop, but I would then need to select to run unbound locally and operate read only, connecting bound to the actual data when needing to add/edit data. It is certainly worthy of consideration. This is akin to Arthur's suggestion, which would involve replication. I will try importing all the data to an FE on the server I use, lose the links to the shared file and see what the maximum benefit of such an approach would be. I'm not convinced I will see much difference, but it would be a benchmark of what can be attained.
