Split Site with Slow Network = Slow Database :(

Hello!

I've developed an access database for a company split over two sites. The network connection is VERY slow between the two sites and therefore one set of users will be using a VERY slow database unless I come up with a solution.

They all need access to the same (live) tables at the same time.

Anybody have any ideas? It's making my head hurt.

Chris

PS I've already steamlined forms, queries, reports as much as I can..

There's not much you can do about a slow network connection from Access. Your problem is your hardware, not your software. And even then Access isn't network friendly no matter how you design everything. It's one of the flaws of Access.
