[AccessD] Access 97 Application Startup

Token ring?  Are you serious?  That is more then likely an issue.  Is your
copy split BE and FE?  Or are you using the 'full' database?

That is definitely an issue for speed, by having the FE/BE shared.  Do you
have any startup code/forms?  If you don't, and it just takes that long to
open the .mdb itself (try holding shift down during opening, see if that
makes a difference.  If it does, then you have something running in the
beginning.....), the only thing I could think of to optimize things, is if
you have Access User Level security running, make sure to use a local .mdw
for the user's FE, because that is one less thing Access has to access the
network for.

Token Ring is a very sluggish network process though, if I remember right,
it literally goes 'round and round', looking for network messages to handle,
instead of the self perpetuated methods of Ethernet and TCP/IP.

The application loads in 20 seconds on my computer.  My client says the
application takes 2 minutes to load on his machine, which is connected to 3
other computers via token ring (the backend database is shared).  This
morning, however, he said the app took 20 seconds to load, but nobody else
was on the network.

I don't think he uses Outlook, but I'll check.

applications starts up?  What are some things that would cause the same app
to start up slower on one machine vs. another?  Does anyone know of any good
documentation of this on the web?
