I like most users of a computer are not comfortable opening the hood of the Qcharts program and diddling around with it I'm an ex-Dilbert and I hate doing it. Qcharts really needs to redo the way they cache and update client data on the local machines. This stuff is critical for reliable charts. This is not rocket science folks. It's Computer Science 101. Go hire a consultant if you can't figure it out. My recommendations are: 1. Remove all files in the tmp directory when Qcharts starts up. I do this once a day just for good measures. I'm at 31 bps and don't notice that much of a difference at start up. I also question why some of these .ini files are NOT in the tmp directory. 2. Any process of updating files on all servers should not involve a human process. "Opps, I forget this server". 3. There should be a program that runs to verify that correct data has been correctly distributed. I could come up with more but it's too damn early
