Hello,
I need help knowing what I should look for to fix this problem:
My company has a database (Access 2000) that will run a report locally in 12 seconds. When we take the same computer and run the same report 1 mile down the street via T1 the report takes over a minute. Sounds like the network right? Well........
When I take a different database (mine, Access 2000) which is much bigger (1.9Gb), I get only about 3-5 seconds delay between the exact same locations.
I havent seen the design or structure of the slower Db, but I know it is running less queries, macros, etc... than mine to run this report.
So what should I look for when I open the slower Db? If it was the network then I would think that all Access Dbs would act the same and be slow to report, but that isn't the case.
Can the table design or query design cause the Db to act slower because the data is going through a couple routers?
We have a very knowledgable IT hardware person that swears the network is not the problem.(he performed speed tests of his own to verify this) He thinks the slower Db has a design problem that is causing it to be slower when on the T1.
So where should I look first?
Any ideas will help.
Thanks,
Bryan
