Access 97 to XP conversion issue

W

walid khedher

I have converted an application, from Access 97 to Access
XP.

When the app is run, it grows in size, from 260 KB
originally to more than 1000 KB. Also, the process used to
take 2 hours and now it is taking 8 hours.

Would you be able to direct me to a help site, so that I
can troubleshoot this problem? Or, would you have any
advice?

Thanks

Hi Walid,

WOW... 2 hours !!!!

Well first thing is that you are using a different JET Database Engine in
AccessXP versus Access97 (Jet 4.0 vs Jet 3.5)

I recommend that get the updated version of the JET Database Engine, see
How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database
Engine
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239114

But 2 hours?? It's very possible that JET 4.0 says this is how we'll handle
whatever data manipulations you are doing vs how JET 3.5 used to handle it.

Other than rethinking the 2 hour data manipulation routine you are
performing, I can only suggest that you break up the routines and perform
Compact/Repair in between the routines.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
