Slow With Multiple Users

I have a mdb front-end linked to a mdb back-end on another PC on our
network.
When I am running the application alone, everything is OK. Forms open
up quickly and data is displayed quickly - no problems.
But...
When another user also runs the application (using the mdb front-end on
her PC), the application grinds to a halt and we have long delays in
waiting for changes to forms, etc.
I have set the 2 front-ends and the back-end to Shared, with Edited
Record Locking.
Is there something I am missing? I only have 2 users sharing a mdb
database so I do not think I have overloaded it. It must be a setting
someplace.
Thanks for your help.

Perfect John! I set up a dummy form linking to the tables on the
servers and now the speed has really improved.
