Sharing a database over a virtual network

I'm trying to share a database over a virtual network and it is extremely slow. I created a dummy database with one table to test it out and it is still slow, so I don't think it has anything to do with the size of my database.

If I am wrong, is there something I can do to speed it up?

Thanks,
Angie

Have u split the database into a frontend/backend database?
The frontend would contain links to the backend - the backend contains tables only and sits on your network

How much free disk space does your PC have? Has it been defragged recently

Do you have any other processes running in the background that could be adding to it

I have split the database as well as the one-table test database which still ran slowly.

My PC has plenty of space and is defragged regularly. Also, the other users of the virtual network are all experiencing the same thing. We are all over the country from Connecticut to Arizona.

I just thought there might be something more I could do from within the database to make it faster.
