[AccessD] Linking speeds

Hi All:

I seldom use 'bound' forms in Access...SQL and Oracles work better 'unbound'
but this is not the question or a provocation.

I am having a 'bound' problem with a slow connection/linking from the FE to
the BE. The users do not seem concerned but the initial connection times
seem unreasonable long. Some messages have been posted to this issue on the
list but I missed them.

Would anyone know how to speed up linking time? (Access2002)

TIA
Jim
