This is unrelated, but useful information. We are testing Pat's database in version 8.05 Beta US. The full US release of 8.5 has not been made available as of yet. There are several areas where you can improve the overall performance of Actinic. Pats specific issue seems to be a large number of products in the database and a requirement to add and remove them very quickly as inventory is depleted. With inventory management enabled and running the new product marketing features, Also baught, Best sellers, new products there is some additional processing time added to the upload download process. Although its not a huge uptick in time, In pats case she is very sensitive to upload times because her inventory sells out fast.
Our testing to date has been to update the database to the latest release Actinic 85, run access tools on the database to update database to version access 2003, and compact the database. Also reducing the date cycle in the marketing features to a very limited time frame (10 days) you can improve overall database performance.
we have found there is a negligable difference in upload time between version 7.5 and version 85 when the above work is completed.
