Access slow to load [really really slow!]

[Elfman]

Hi All,

I'm having trouble with access. Basically it has been very slow to load
(over 30 seconds when not opening a database) and when opening a database it just crashes.

Has anyone any idea what could cause this as it worked fine before ?

also would a reinstall help ??

What is the physical size of the mdb and have you done anything different lately? Also have you tried to compact and repair it lately?

Hi,

Is this JUST Access in general or a particular Access db?

is it network or local

if network then it could be a gliche in the network - too much being loaded -
also size and location of your d/b

another pointer is have your d/b as close to the drive letter as possible

so
F:\Storage folder\db

and not
F:\storage folder\subdirectory\abcsubfolder\someotherrubbishfolder\
