I get a box (RUN AS) which prompts which account I want to use. Our LAN and SQL Logins are the same so I always choose the top option (Current User). My question is what is the value of the check box underneath that? We always just untick it and go. Leaving it ticked says it will protect your data and computer, but then adds a rather un-nerving disclaimer that leaving this option ticked may cause your program to malfunction - I mean, where is the benefit in that? Clearly this must have some use (or this is MS - so maybe not). Can anyone shine some light onto this tickbox and why it is (or isn't) needed and/or useful? cheers Darryl.

My test was simple: From a client PC, copy a record from a table and insert it into an identical table. Do this 50 times for each method. The results are quite interesting. You might want to paste this into a spreadsheet.

We used Access 2003 as the FE, and SQL Server 2005 for data tables. Has anyone else set up tests like this? Were your results comparable? By the way, I also did a LAN test using table links to an Access BE with a permanently open recordset, and the results were almost identical to ODBC table links to SQL Server. Thanks!

OLEDB is significantly faster than going through an ODBC connection. There is really no comparison performance wise. If you want to see how slow slow is try using a large ODBC SELECT with a Pass-Through type query... and then go for lunch. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dan Waters Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 1:06 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'; SQL Server List Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Data Transfer Speed: ODBC vs. OLEDB I've been preparing to upsize an Access database for a customer, and I first set up a test to see how much faster data transfer would using an OLEDB provider vs. using ODBC table links, both to the same SQL Server database.

As for learning stuff, I have found the following book to be very helpful, although I don't think SQL Server is something you can learn overnight though... http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Access-Developers-Guide-Server/dp/0672319446/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227667773&sr=8-1 good luck.
