[AccessD] Takes FOREVER to save

I am working on a directory on my C: drive.  I have an F: drive which is my automatically backed up 
place to store things which need backing up.  It is on a server on the other coast of the US.  It 
has to go through about 10 firewalls (so I am told) to get out of this building, to the internet and 
into the system on the other coast.  Needless to say, we use a local drive and I use sync toy to get 
things synced up off line at night.

And yes, it runs much faster in the citrix VM but no changes I make to those VMs survive a reboot.

Needless to say I use a local hard drive for dev.

Doing so though means getting at data in a SQL Server on the opposite coast....
