[AccessD] Very slow browsing with open dialog in Access 2003

Hi Jim

Thanks! That was it! I knew it was something simple.
I had mapped drive L: to an external Linux box which has been detached for a while.
Oh my. Now I can save my Visio drawings and Access databases without looking for new mail while the dialog browser catches up.

Thanks again.

  Watch out for any mapped drives that may be unavailable.  If they are,
doing anything in an open dialog slows it down considerably.

  This one always sneaks up on me as I do a lot of remote work.  I'll map a
drive, forget about it, then latter try to do something and the drive is not
available.

Jim.

Hi all

This is probably easy, but how can you speed up directory/folder browsing
when you use the dialog box to open a file with MS Office 2003 including
Access 2003?

With all other versions of MS Office it's a snap to browse through drives
and folders, but with Office 2003 it takes "forever" as if the dialog box
investigates each and every file within a folder before it will be opened.
