Adjusting the FileMaker Pro cache

FileMaker Pro maintains an internal cache of portions of your database.

Depending on your computer’s memory configuration, you may want to

adjust the cache size to improve performance.

You may want to consider increasing the cache size if you plan to:

1 work on a large database file

1 work on several database files at once

1 host database files

1 use a database file that contains many graphics

1 insert a large graphic into a database file

Consider decreasing the cache size if you plan to run several

applications at the same time and you have a limited amount of

memory (RAM) installed.

Note By changing the FileMaker Pro cache size, you also affect the

amount of memory needed to run FileMaker Pro.

For more information on managing memory, see the documentation that

came with your computer.
