[AccessD] Very slow table link refreshing

Hi John,

I've been doing this for a few years now.  Even with that, on occasion, the
link refreshing takes a very long time.  Normally, it only takes a few
seconds.  It's also very slow occasionally doing a 'manual' refreshing.

I think that something is interfering with the link refreshing, but I just
don't know what.

Dan

Not at all.  What you need to do is hold a table open to the 
be.  The slowness is caused by obtaining and releasing the 
lock to the BE for every table relinked.  Open a small table 
and hold it open, then do the relink.  It should be fast then.
