splitting database

[Afsaneh]

I have splitted my database into 2 files . one containing tables which is
placed in a server and the other containig forms, reports and queries that
each client has a copy of it. the problem is opening forms takes time
although there are still few information enterd. what aspects should I check
to diminish the delay?

Work your way through the list of items Tony has listed here:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm

It will be a little slower than when the records are on the local C: drive,
but should not be heaps slower.

In addition to the lead Allen offers to Tony's list, here are two causes I
ran into:

1) a network-based anti-virus program was updated and it "took offense"
at how Access accessed the back-end data.
2) a front-end form that loads ALL the related records will take longer
after you move the related records. If your form is designed this way (all
records), consider modifying it to pull only a single record at a time.

Good luck!

I think the BE's location is the problem which is
"\\backupsrv\File_Service\Mali\nezarat-bar-khadamat\Amval".
it dos'nt relate to the number of record it retrieves because it is a search
form and dos'nt have any record source at first.am I right?

 

[Jeff Boyce]

I'd certainly follow up on the lead Allen provided.

Yes, if the search form is unbound intially, and only bound after a search
criteria is set...
