Access 2002 with Windows XP

Alex

I'm have been using Access 2002 on Win98SE PCs and all
was working fine. I have now upgraded these PCs to WinXP
Pro and now the performance when accessing data using
forms has deteriorated drastically. When data is entered,
sometimes the first letter is missed giving incorrect
stock items. Is this something that is common and if so
how can it be fixed?

Many thanks,

Alex

See Tony Toews' "Access Performance FAQ" at:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm

There are several issues that affect performance, including some that are
specific to WinXP.

The missing keystrokes are a worry, though. If this is not just a matter of
the delays being so long that the keystroke went to the wrong object, then
you would probably be experiencing the same problem with other software as
well.

No this only seems to happen in Access. We use Access for
our Sales Order Processing. When we want to select a
style we type the code and sometimes (quite often) it
misses the first letter, inputting the incorrect code. If
we wait for a period after select the cell in which to
type on our form then all is well, as if it has caught up.

Check out Tony's article, and deal with each of the issues in turn.

If you are running any Timer event code, comment it out until you get this
solved.
