Hi,
We have an internal network of 3 users.
Myself & one other currently have individual copies of the front-end
MS Access forms and via our individual ODBC links we have used the:
File > Get External Data > Link Tables > select ODBC Databases
facility to link to our back-end MySQL Server. On both our machines
the tables appear in the window very quickly and if we hit 'Select
All', all the tables start loading really quickly into our front-ends.
This works perfectly.
The problem is that with the 3rd user, the Import facility works, but
each table takes about 30 seconds to link in and then eventually when
you try to run the app on their machine, it is so slow you just cannot
use it.
I just upgraded their MS Access to XP but this made no difference.
Their PC is very new and also loaded with windows.
Is there a fix for this as I need them to use this program, but I just
cannot fix it.
Appreciate your thoughts.
David

David,
If all the PCs are set up identically, then I would suspect the network
rather than the software. Access is hyper-sensitive to network issues and
problems can sometimes be traced back to the network card installed in the
problem PC.
Try one or more of these ideas, to see if it is a network problem:
1. Swap the slow PC with a PC which is working normally. In other words,
leave the network cards where they are, but swap the network cables. Which
PC is now slow? If the same PC is slow, suspect the card. If the fast PC is
now slow, suspect something further down the network.
2. Swap the network cards between a fast PC and the slow PC. In other words,
use the same network cables, but swap the internal network cards. Does the
slowness travel with the card, or does it stay with the slow PC? If it
follows the card, that card is flakey and should be replaced. If the same PC
is slow, you have a problem with the PC setup somewhere and that will be
very difficult to diagnose in this ng.

Cheers,
Doug

David,
Doug probably has you on the right track to diagnosing the problem, but you
might need to check configuration issues. Are all of the systems in the
same domain? Are they all using the same mechanism to resolve the IP
address of the server? Host files the same? DNS server the same? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I posted a while ago for some help with my word finder program, which is now
quite a lot faster than I could manage. Thanks to all who helped :)
This time, I've written a basic batch binary usenet poster in Python, but
encoding the data into yEnc format is fairly slow. Is it possible to improve
the routine any, WITHOUT using non-standard libraries? I don't want to have
to rely on something strange ;)

Hi,
We a have a small office network of 3 users.
Each user has their own copy of an MS Access Front-End which is linked
via their own local ODBC connection to our server's MySQL database
(Linux Machine)
2 of our 3 users machines can import/link the data back into their
front-ends instantly. The third machines will connect, but it is so
ultra slow that you just cannot import all the tables and use the

Why is "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1 c++" so much slower than VS6 at linking?
It looks like "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1 c++" doesn't even do incremental
linking! I make one very minor change in a .cpp from one of my thirty
projects and the whole thing links! (I turned on verbose linking to verify
this.)
Is there something else I need to do to turn on incremental linking?

Sorry to repost, but this is becoming aggravating, and causing me a lot of
wasted time. I've got a reasonably large mixed C++ project, and after a
number of builds (but not a constant number) linking (and sometimes
compiling) becomes immensely slow, and task manager shows that link.exe (or
cl.exe) is barely using any processor time, but an awful lot of RAM (around
150-200MB). I'm going to keep an eye on page faults since I can't...

I have an Access 2002 program that I install using Wise. The first
thing my program does when a front end is opened is re-link, then it
checks the version and if needed upgrades the backend.
My problem is that I have a new front end version upgrade that creates
several new tables in the backend and then links them. So when the
program opens up it checks the version in the backend and if needed
creates new tables & new links. Now when...

This a little strange.
The link in a FE database get corrupted when the BE get compacted, and the

I have checked. The data is fine in the BE. The data is fine in the link in
the FE before compacting the BE. I shutdown the FE and then compact the BE.
Open the FE and the data 'looks' corrupt. In data sheet view the first
columns on the left are okay. Then the last several rows have been shifted

That you shouldn't do things like tables inside of tables.
Is that true?

I've recently created a form link from a listbox with proper link criteria.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
