Tafola,
One more question....do you check out the whole project directly from Vault
or open the highest level assembly from within Inventor and then checkout
from Inventor? It would be much quicker to checkout from Vault and I can't
think of any reason this workflow shouldn't work. My main assembly on this
project is probably approaching 10K parts and opening even once in a while
is, well, painful.

Jim,.....We are not a large organisation. We have at any one time only about
5 people working on the same project. It's easy in our office to apply the
method I use to get around Vault's slowness because we are all on the same
site. I just talk to the people involved, tell them I am checking the work
out, roughly what I intend doing to it and that I'm logging off Vault then
go for it!!...it works well. And we find the spin-off is that you tend to
communicate better with your team regarding the project.
By-the-way we too suffer the constant interruption of the Server Busy/Retry
dialogue. We thought it might be a server issue but when we installed the
new server it is still there. But it's not, of course if you work off line.
Happy Inventoring,
Tafola
