Network activity with BCM shared "John" <duckdive[ at ]yahoo.com> 3/23/2007 7:31:01 AM I am using BCM 2007. The master database is at the main office. Remotely, I'm connected with a IPSec VPN over a cable/dsl with decent speeds (at least 768 u/d). I've shared the master BCM database at the main office, and I can connect to it with reasonable performance (recently upgraded the RAM on the PC to 2gb 800mhz Ballistix). Yet, on my remote PC, I have constant network activity. I have turned off the Offline Database and all linking on the remote PC. My Outlook is working fine, and I'm 99% sure that this activity is coming from BCM. If I use an Outlook profile without BCM, the network activity is normal (only blinks when I know some data needs to be transferred). Does anyone have any advice? John

Re: Network activity with BCM shared "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 3/23/2007 5:55:36 PM If you are connected to remote database, BCM polls the remote database at regular interval for any data chages. This can happen in Offline mode also if you have set Offiline DB to sync automatically. -- Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "John" <duckdive[ at ]yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1174635061.398502.3200[ at ]o5g2000hsb.googlegroups.com...

Re: Network activity with BCM shared "John" <duckdive[ at ]yahoo.com> 3/23/2007 7:58:57 PM OK. So it is by design. Is there any way to change the frequency? It seems odd that the network activity is so constant. (and I'm certain that it only happens when BCM is open)

Re: Network activity with BCM shared "Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT]" <mukeshag[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 3/29/2007 2:00:43 AM Unfortunately, no way to change it. Try tweaking offline settings and disable automatic sync. -- Mukesh Agarwal [MSFT] Visit team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights "John" <duckdive[ at ]yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1174679937.317764.56240[ at ]b75g2000hsg.googlegroups.com...
