OK, so after reading all of the responses, I have made an 'executive' decision. I have decided to look into rewriting the whole thing in vb.net. Sounds like some job security to me! Thanks to everyone that chimed in on this!

ADO and unbound is the only way to go with this. Also move all the Access queries to Stored procs or Views Server side and call them from Access. Let SQL Server do all the work and just bring in the results to Access.

If you swap out the default connection objects in Access and unbind each form, and instead create ado connections back to Sql Server, you might be able to combat these latency issues if they should arise. -Francisco <http://twitter.com/seecoolguy> On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 11:05 AM, Jeff B <jeff.developer at gmail.com> wrote: > What I was thinking of doing was to run the Access FE from the users > laptop or desktop and host the data on a SQL Server.
