Recordsetclone.Findfirst on a form over a network is slow!!!!

Charles Coltun

I have noticed that the technique of retrieving a record
in the underlying data table up to a form (for which the
data table is the record source) is slow. I find this to
be the case when the data resides on a server with token
ring topology. Yet, when I move the data to a local
computer's hard drive, the record requested comes up at a
respectable speed. I understand (from the Microsoft
online help system) that the Recordsetclone.Findfirst
technique results in a sequential search, which over the
network can result in a painfully slow response. This
same sequential search technique speed up dramatically
when the program and data reside on a local computer's
hard drive.

I have had to resort to doing a Filter by Form. I
understand (from the Microsoft online documentation) that
Filter by Form is an indexed search technique. This
technique works very well over the network.

Are there any indexed search techniques that I can use
with the recordset.find commands on a form. I have
attempted to use recordsetclone.seek, however, setting the
recordsetclone.bookmart to the form's bookmard resulted in
an error message.

Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated.

Thank you,
Charles Coltun
