OFFXPDEV: Creating a New Dashboard Project Is Slow and Can Make the Microsoft Development Environment Appear to Hang (291578)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office XP Developer
This article was previously published under Q291578

SYMPTOMS

Creating a new Dashboard project for Microsoft Exchange 2000 or Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server can take up to two minutes and can make the Microsoft Development Environment unresponsive and appear to hang.

CAUSE

Digital Dashboards employ a number of files that need to be copied to the server for the new project. The actual time it takes to create the Dashboard project depends on many factors including:
  • The speed of the client computer.
  • The speed of the server.
  • The speed of the network and amount of network traffic.

Improving any one of these three areas could decrease the time that it takes to create a new project.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
