As I didn't get a reply posting this in the queries section, I have reposted
in formscoding to see if I have any better luck. Apologies if I have broken
any rules.
I should mention that as well as trying Arvins code I have also used
Klatuu's but got the same slow response from the Pivot Form. Both lots of
code use a table to look up holiday dates which seems to be the common
denominator in slowing the Pivot Table. I'm guessing it's probably not good
practice but is there any way of specifying the holday dates within the code
? Would this speed things up ?
Not sure whether I should be posting here or in forms as the effect of the
issue is felt when refreshing a pivot table form, here goes anyway...
I have a query with a couple of calculated fields which use the the WorkDays
function. I recently changed the expressions to use the WorkDays2 function
which includes provision for holidays (I also had to select Microsoft DAO 3.6
Object Library in References which was not selected previously).
When I ran the query it worked fine and there was no discernable difference
in the time it took to run (produces 104,000 records).
It only became a problem when I refreshed the pivot table form which runs
from this query. With the Workdays function, the pivot table took 1 min 10
sec to refresh. When I changed to the Workdays2 function, the pivot table
took 9 mins 10 sec to run. This seemed like a huge difference so I tested it
a couple more times with the 2 different functions and Workdays2 definately
seems to be the culprit.
Is this difference in processing time reasonable ? Is there something else I
should be changing to optimise this as I really would prefer to account for
holidays. I have pasted the code for both functions below -
