Automated compacting of Classic databases
See our AutoJeCT User guide detailing automated database compacting detailed on our Classic Document Library page.
Wireless Networks
Due to potential signal dropouts, care is needed when using wireless with any database including Classic. Whiteboards, metal wall fixtures, metallic window shading, etc, all of these block wireless signals
Terminal Servers
We highly recommend terminal servers for good network speed and data integrity.
