Thanks Jim. I'll be making a proposal for a new Access app in the next few
weeks. The original draft proposal had Access using an mdb backend. I'd like
to stick with that but not if performance suffers. I'm just now trying out
A2010. Maybe it's a non-issue.

Yes, the BE is Access 2007.
So far it seems the sluggishness is related to the network.

Is the access 2007 app multi-user? I'm a bit concerned over things I've seen
here that lead me to believe that I should be staying with a access 2003 BE
in order to avoid sluggish response times.

I'm in the US and Access jobs are around.
I'm working a strictly Access contract now.
No SQL server involved.  I import and export to Excel.
Import from another group and export so the researchers can use SPSS.
I've heard of several possibilities for the near future.
BTW - requirement of the contract Access 2007.
I like it, it has features that 2003 doesn't have.  One being memo fields
with RTF capabilities.
I've found no degradation of speed with the memo fields either.

You definitely are outside of the USA .... correct ?
Access contracts/jobs are for naught around here.
Rates are near ridiculous...especially if you go thru a broker/agency.
