Have a client who suggested that their remote location (using Sage 100 Advanced) was significantly slow. Upon investigating, I concluded that the majority of their slowness was just unreasonable expectations and that it actually was pretty fast. I would be happy with the speed if it were a LAN and not a WAN. I tested ping speeds and they were all very reasonable for working over a VPN. However I did spot one place where I could not logically explain the dramatic speed difference. When you enter a sales order and enter the customer purchase order you can set it to look for duplicate purchase orders. Client has it set up to look only at open sales orders and unposted sales invoices so the search should be fairly fast. We find that an onsite client gets a search result of about 1 second but the remote clients take about 9 seconds. This seems totally ridiculous for a client server installation even over a WAN because the processing should be occurring at the server and only the results returned. Thoughts? Maybe something in the programming isn't quite right to take advantage of c/s functionality?
