Yep!  I have batch files that set up the connection and map the drive.  A
matching batch file unmaps the drive and drops the connection.

  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.

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.
