Hi Kostas and Anita:

Just a note: You can just store the list contents in a empty recordset and then use the recordset to repopulate the list. If you know the method, great...if not and you would like it, I can post it.

I used this method for years when there were many remote users with limited connection speeds.

Kostas,
I forgot to mention that if your problem is down to network speed then you are better off changing your list box to a subform and using the Forms Filter property to filter it. That way you are only hauling the data over once when the form opens and from then on there should be no additional network traffic.

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
