Hi Bert, thanks for the reply. I am not going to seriously challenge someone with 5072 posts, but I have a few thoughts.

1) Wireless worked very well for 4 years. It works well now about 95% of the time. If the wireless network is passworded, I do not see a security concern. I would rather fix it than scrap it.

2) I have gathered from numerous posts from you and others that a server is advantageous. No arguement. BUT if the network (esp switch) is slowing things down, would switching to a server circumvent this? My thought is to optimize what we have, then if not adequate consider a server.

Thanks again. Gene
