Any DLL which affects speed of opening/reading file

[SusanAnjali]

Hello,

Is anyone aware of any DLL which has to be installed in the machine to use Filesystemobject for file handling. Please refer to the File Reading Speed thread by me for more info about the problem that I am having.

The info I got so far from my testing is, when I run the exe in a machine with VB6.0 installed, it tends to run faster(<2 min) and in an XP machine with no VB installed it takes about 6 or so min to run.

Any insights appreciated

Thanks

Susan

Susan,

Not sure of the name for the DLL, but it's commonly known as the Windows Scripting Host.

FSO is not something I tend to encourage - hve you thought about simply opening files in VB?

I believe that VB's internal file I/O is the fastest of all. It is also not a matter of OS on the performance.

In my opinion, you need to optimize the code in which you are processing the file. The following information will be helpful to the readers for troubleshooting.

The size of the file.
Type/structure of data it contains.
The code you are using.
Your objective.
