slow opening archived citadel database on first read

[unclebump]

I have archived a citadel database using the archive vi. I then copied this database to another computer. when I try to read data from this archived database, it is taking a long time to return the first set of data (5-10 minutes). New attempts to read data execute much quicker than the first read. Is there a way to improve this opening of the citadel database?? Right now I am using the OPEN DB sub vi that was sent to me to resolve an error accessing citadel problem. The database is not setup as the logging location in the tag engine. This OPEN DB vi is locked so I can't do any kind of probing to see what it is happening. Are you not supposed to work with an archived database??

Bump,

I was unable to reproduce your problem. I archived a DB on my machine and moved it to another Win2k machine. The program works fine, whether or not I use the open and close DB VIs. How much data are you trying to retrieve? You also may have a corrupted database, and Citadel is trying to fix its corruptions when you first access the data. Have you tried to access the original (pre-archive) database with the VI? What is the result?
