[AccessD] mdb speed

I deleted the message from marcel(?) too fast - but Marcel here is some code previously posted to the list to turn off all subdatasheets in your tables, ie. to set the name of the subdatasheet name to "None".
(Sorry - can't credit original author...)

Marcel - there have been some really good posts to the list on speed and performance issues - maybe a search for 'speed' in the archives would be of some help to you?
