Why is Access 2007 so slow?

So I developed this nice small database. 7.5 Mb is not exactly big. On Access 2003 it runs like a breeze. But on Access 2007 it seems to "run" slow motion. I decompiled and compiled it back on Access 2007. It continues irritatingly slow. Oh, and the size grew to 9.3 Mb. So I copied all content in a brand new 2007 database, compiled it and then ran: ms access /decompile. Compiled it again but it's still about 1.5 Mb bigger than when doing the same proceedure on MS Access 2003. Anything I can do about this?

Hi Eric,
You need to review the link and see if there are any items on the list that apply to you and correct. Hopefully, in the review process something will stand out as an incompatibility or bug that you can fix and be up to speed.

Thanks puppydogbuddy,

I read the content of the link. Nothing stood out that I thought, this can be it. Actually, I don't like the look and feel of Access 2007 at all. Or all Office 2007 components for that matter. It looks bloated and I hate the colors. If only it could be made to look like Office 2003.

Take care,

Eric

Eric,
Here is another link on what slows Access down in general, with a special section on Access 2007.

I think I found out the reason : "Keyboard Language" property of the field should be set to "System".

This is what I tried, and "YES" the speed is just fine!

Please spread the word, I have been chasing this for almost a "Year"now!

Good luck

To clarify Harounhdbdb comment:
In design view of a form, for each field, Harounhdbdb has appeared to have found that by leaving the default value of "System" for the Keyboard language property has helped to improve his speed.

If you are looking for opinon on what's useful in Access 2007, there's a new article at: http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html Covers what's good (useful features), what's mixed (good and bad), what's gone (features removed), what's fixed (old issues solved), what's broken (new bugs), configuration, compatibility, should you buy, and links. It is opinion, so you may disagree, but hopefully it's an informative summary.

I work with a highly programmed Access database (some 15,000 lines of VBA code, much of it automating data entry on forms -- and believe me, it's very tight code). In Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003, no performance problems. However, when I open the same database in Access 2007, it's as slow as molasses. Data trickles onto the form instead of an immediate display in Access 2003. This happens regardless of whether I keep the Access...

Just curious if anyone is having issues with Acc 2007 once the number of objects and complexity increases?

Every so often now, after opening many different screens, I'll...

Hello Everyone, I'm having some very weird behavior on a couple of Access forms. (Not all forms, just some of them).

Hi I need help. I have a ms access 2003 database that I would like to upgrade to ms access 2007. The first time I opened I had to fix a few references it wanted a DAO2535.TLB file witch I gave it, and a utility.mda file witch I think i gave it. The instructions on Microsoft's web sight were not very clear where to put the utility.mda so I am not sure if I have it at the right place. The Database does not ask for it anymore. I have...

I have an Access Data Project (.adp) connecting to a SQL Server 2005 DB over the internet. The project has been running in Access 2003 for a couple of years, and performance has been very good. When I convert it to Access 2007 (maintaining the 2002-2003 file format) it gets a LOT slower. It takes about 3-5 seconds just to tab to a new field. Everything seems to work, it's just as if it is moving in molasses. Any ideas on what could be...

Hi, The organisation I work for is on the verge of buying Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Plus OLP NL. We currently use Office Pro 2003. Our business system is written in Access 2003 with a SQL Server back end. I've heard that it's possible that the version of Office we are buying may have compatability issues with Access 2003. I find this hard to believe, but does anybody know anything about this? Thanks

Hi all, So I bought a new laptop 10 days ago to test my apps with Vista. (home premium) Apparently Office 2007 is pre-installed. (a time limited but complete test version, no SP1) So I take the opportunity to test some new features of Access2007 before actually 'stepping over'. First thing that troubles me of course is 'the ribbon', but my question now is about speed. I opened one of my Access 2000-apps in Access 2007. Speed and...

Hi, I'm having major performance issues in testing with Access 2007 after Access 97 applications are converted (.mdb) format. Loading of forms or reports are 2-3 times slower in Access 2007 than in Access 97. Roughly 1/4 of our applications are affected by this problem. The problem involves those retrieving data from the backend SQL 2005 through ODBC. I ran SQL profiler and the same form/reports/code run under 2007 cause the SQL stored...
