Toolbar makes database slow for multi users

K

If the forms and data are held on my C drive the toolbar works ok. But when
the frontend is on each of the users C drive linked to a backend held on a
server the toolbar is very slow. It also takes a while for the forms to
open. I have tested the database without the toolbar by replacing with a
menu and the database works fine. Why has the toolbar slowed the database
and is there a fix - which does not mean me re-writting the database to be
menu driven!!

I'm not sure why the toolbars are slow, BUT it is a recommendation of
Microsoft in designing you GUI that you always do menus and do them first.

It has to do with accessability... Menu's you can always get to with the
keyboard (ALT+ <key>) tools on a toolbar you can not.

You should have every command available through a menu option..
