slow application

J

Jean-Paul

Hi,
I wrote this application that runs perfectly (or better: almost
perfectly...)
The problem is, on one computer it runs at a reasonable speed.. the same
application on another (HP) computer runs EXTREEMLY slow, although the
latter is the most recent and most fast computer.
All other applications runs fast enough, only this application doesn't.
What can cause this?
Thanks
JP

There are sooo many variables from machine to machine that it would be hard
to tell. Memory, disk access speed, what applications are loaded in startup,
network, etc. Try doing a selective start up and see if you can narrow
something down.

Is this MDB/MDE shared among several users? Does the performance hit
happen only on the second user in?

No Tony... single user..
All other apps run perfectly on this computer except for my access
application.
There is no difference between running as mdb or mde
Even entering a value in an entryfield, or scrolling takes much longer...
Thanks

Any chance that the Anti-Virus software is interfering with the process?

We've had isolated reports of this problem. Try importing all the
objects into a new MDB/ACCDB and see if that helps.

Also what are the references?

Sub ViewReferenceDetails()

Dim ref As Reference

For Each ref In Access.References
Debug.Print ref.Name & " - " & ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor & "
- " & ref.FullPath
Next ref

End Sub

importing in a new MDB made no difference.
I added your code into mine and got a "type mismatch" (I have to
translate the errormessage from my Dutch Access version) errormessage...

Thanks for your kind help

Interesting. Try the following code then.

Sub DebugPrintReferences()

Dim ref As Reference

For Each ref In Access.References
Debug.Print ref.Name & " " & _
IIf(ref.IsBroken, "Broken", _
ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor & " " & _
ref.FullPath)
Next ref

End Sub
