Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me. I am running an access 2000 application
with the backend on a server running windows 2003 and a seperate front
end on each users machine.
When i designed it, it was designed with a link table so that the user
is always connected to the back end but since the server was upgraded
the application has developed a horrible problem. It takes ages to open
any of the forms.
As a test under the same workgroup i created a table called "table"
with one field called "field". I populated this table with ten records
being the words one through to ten. I created this table in a back end
on the server called test 2.
On the individual machines i created a front end called test 1 and
linked to the test 2 back end on the server.
As you would imagine when you open the front end and double click on
the linked table you see the ten records instantaniously, BUT! when
another user logs into the same test 1 front end and trys to open the
table, ie the table open on 2 machines simultaneously it takes 17
seconds to open.
Has anyone had the same problem since switching to windows 2003 server?
This application ran perfectly before and we have tested the client
application at our office at it works perfectly without any kind of
delay.
Sorry for the length of the post.
Thanks
