The database files are usually in a folder called "AccuData". To find out which is your live database folder, launch AccuTrack, go to System Administration, and then click on "Database" and "Database Location". You will see the path there. Remember this path because you need to restore it after your test.
Copy the folder (e.g. AccuData) to your local drive. Next point AccuTrack to use that via the Database Location screen by selecting the local folder and clicking "Save". You will need to restart AccuTrack before the change will take effect.
Now do test sign-ins and other functions that are usually slow and observe the speed. Don't worry about adding test records because you are working on a copy of the database not the live one.
When finished, point the software back to the live database via the Database Location screen. Remember to restart the software.
NOTE: You might also want to run Database Repair. This reindexes the database, which is always good for software operations.
NOTE 2: For faster respond, you might consider upgrading to AccuSQL, which uses a SQL Server database as its data engine. This works faster than AccuTrack because the database processing is done on the server by the SQL Server database engine.

Well there is a simple test to find out whether it's the network. Copy the AccuTrack database folder from your network drive to your local drive, point the software to the local database, and then try the sign-ins. If they are now fast, then you would know it's the network.

Now have another problem, an error message come up when we email the report to the student (like hotmail or yahoo email) but worked with our school email. It used to work for any email.

You didn't tell us the results of your speed test? Did you try copying the database locally to check on the speed of the software?
