Access Xp Slow when multi user connected??

[Ramzi]

Hi to all...

I am experiencing a slow performance while one user is connected to the
database and when the second user connects and try to perform some commands
like (Dcount, DSum…, or run any SQL statement…) it will take almost 15
double of the actual time with no other user is connected??

Can any one advice!!





Thanks in advance…

Is your database split? Have you deployed a copy of the front-end to each
individual user?

Also, what type of network are you using (10/100, gigabit, wirless - please
say no, etc.) and what was the network performance like prior to using the
database?

The three most common performance problems in Access 2000 or newer
are:
- LDB locking which a persistent recordset connection or an always
open bound form corrects (multiple users)
- sub datasheet Name property set to [Auto] should be [None]
- Track name AutoCorrect should be off

If the problem is for everyone when starting up the MDB then it likely
needs a decompile.
