I am confused by your response.
Normal operation:
-- All users must have their own personal copy of the FE on their LOCAL hard drive and the tables are linked to the BE on a LAN drive
Test operation
-- You imported the linked tables into the FE and you tested it
---- on your local PC
---- on the server
It is important to be clear because depending on which situations were fast and which were not, highlights the problem. If the first and third are slow but the second is fast, the problem is with the LAN. If the second is slow also, then the problem is with the application. You really need to isolate the scope of the problem so you know what you need to address.
One comment you made brings up an issue I had at one time. You said the app was very slow when going from design view to form view. When I experienced this, it was caused by me working on my company laptop when NOT connected to the LAN. That disconnected my default printer. Once I defined a different default printer, that slowness went away. I don't know if that is the main problem but it is also something to investigate. Make sure that everyone has a default printer defined for Office and that the printer is connected.
