Hello,
We a have an interesting performance issue. We have a datawindow of records relating to Word documents (stored in a blob column). When we click on a record another area of the screen uses an ole control to preview the document. We've been chasing our tails on preview performance issues that are sometimes almost instantaneous and other times can take 2-8 seconds. So, we've finally discovered where the delay is coming from, Word.
If Word is already open, preview is instantaneous, if not, 2-8 seconds. Obviously, we could advise users to keep Word open at all times but that seems a bit inelegant.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thx,
Shawn
