Couple tips here:

 1. Make sure all MDB/MDE's are in the same format (JET 3.x vs 4.0)
 2. *Always* keep a connection to the BE database while the FE is open.  I
do this by opening a hidden form bound to a table in the BE right at startup
and close it when the app exits.  This is critical.
 3. Make sure the files are not being virus scanned at startup.
 4. Turn off OPLOCKS (Opportunistic Locking) on the server.
 5. Turn off sub datasheets
 6. Turn off name autocorrect
 7. Make sure all users have full read/write/delete priv for the directory
where the MDB resides.
 8. Make sure your distributing a compiled FE to clients.

Hi group,

I've got a MAJOR problem.

I've got an A2K application with a BE and a FE. FE is installed on the local
machine and the BE is installed on the server. Using WinNT
Performance has always been soso. Not fast but not very slow either.

Now we've migrated everything to A2k2 with WinXP.

Performance is terrible times 10!! Opening the FE takes about 20-25 minutes.
Opening a linked table takes 9 minutes same goes for tables in the FE
itself.

However, when I open the FE and if I open a table that is stored in the FE
it opens directly, no problem. When I then open a linked table => bang back
to 9 minutes per table (linked or not)

Is it possible that this somehow has to do with A2k2?? I know in Access 2
(that is two!!) you had to change OPENFILES parameter thingies somewhere.
Does Access 2002 also have such a setting that must be tweaked??

TIA

Sander
