Re: MUI Performance Considerations -- MAPICS-L

User's don't press F1, they call IT!

We lost it for awhile (several years ago), the only people who noticed were
in IT.

Bryan,

Are you really sure you don't use MUI?  Do your users ever place their
cursor on a field then press F1 for help to get an idea of what the field
is used for?  If you turn off MUI, you turn of field context help.  To get
it back in place is a bear.  I'd think twice about turning it off as it is
a tool your users should be using every day.  Just wanted to warn you that
you will be impacting your users big time.
