Will upgrading do me any good?

Hi Darren,

We use maximizer 9 Enterprise in our office here, but have also used version 8 previously. We have about 16 users with an 8gb or so database - using the pervasive engine (which I hate with a passion, unfortunately it was purchased before I got here).

I think it just goes with maximizer that there are always random and unexplainable crashes and problems with it. Not once have we had an installation that didn't have it's own niggling issues, I've just accepted that's how the software is and to work with it.

Don't get me wrong, it's good software for our purposes, it just never seems entirely polished.

Upgrading to version 10 has been on my mind also, mainly for SQL server and web accessibility options. However I dont know if that will be any more stable than the previously released versions.

Best of luck to you

We upgraded to 10 earlier this summer (from 5.5), and were also using the Pervasive engine. This version is large and I upgraded RAM, but it is very stable and seems faster on SQL than 5.5 on "P." Don't think it's crashed once, so from that perspective, it's better. Can't speak to differences in 8 or 9, though.
