[AccessD] problem of a listbox's response on network...

Kostas,
I use this method on a regular basis except for two steps:

I have a second text box that receives the characters the user types in the search text box. I call it txtFindIt and I use this field as a criteria rather that the field they type in.

On change of txtSearch I fire the following:

Me.txtFindIt = Me.txtSearch.Text
Me.MyListBox.Requery

Instead of concocting the rowsource for the list box on the fly I use a query instead.
My list box has a permanent rowsource and I put the following criteria in the field I want to search on.

Like "*" & [Forms]![frmMyForm]![txtFindIt] & "*"

It may sound confusing but it is really very simple and have worked with many concurrent users so far. I can't remember why I do it this way but I think it has something to do with a problem using the textbox that the users type into as the criteria and using the OnChange event - anyhow my method works a treat.

Subject: [AccessD] problem of a listbox's response on network...

hi to all,
I am working on a mdb file (office 2010) under linked tables from another database which is installed on a home network (workgroup 192.168.0.xx) For quick searching on basics fields (name, year born etc) every user on the network is working with a deigned form including an unbound list box

on a text unbound
Private Sub text_box_Change()
Me![list2].RowSource = "SELECT [AM], [Last_name], [First_name], [Father_name], [year_born] FROM [q_start_list] WHERE [Last_first_name]like '" & Me![text_box].Text & "*'"
End Sub

on a button
Private Sub list2_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim stDocName As String
    Dim stLinkCriteria As String
    stDocName = "MT_basic_char"
    stLinkCriteria = "[AM] = " & Me!list2.Value & ""
    DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria End Sub

what it happens... if only one person is connected working on the listbox there is no problem at all while the response returns on the spot But when more than one try to work on the same listbox the response is ridiculously slow...

Is there any idea about which is the reason it happens?

thank’s in advance
