The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

A2K Performance Tips

Asked by Volibrawl in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: access, performance, slow

Many of my clients have "upgraded" to Access 2000 in the past year or so. Most have suffered through poor performance and just accepted it.

I have a few applications, however, where the performance is so poor that they border on "unuseable". These are sytems that have been in place for 3 or 4 years, running quite successfully under Access 97, but now are so slow that they must be modified or abandoned in favor of some other solution. I have had to "add" hourglasses and "Wait..calculating" prompts to assure the users that the app is actually working, when for years this was not necessary.

By way of example, I have a form, based on a query that does some calculations, which loads and refreshes in 4 seconds in Access 97. It takes (varies) from 9 to 20 seconds in A2K. This is using all local tables on the same machine. The ONLY difference is that the mdb is converted to A2k.

Can anyone offer any tips for speeding up A2k SPECIFICALLY, particularly in Networked environments with linked tables .. is there some different Jet that can be used? some special query optimizations? should I use code modules instead of code behind the forms? create relations or just JOIN in queries? more tables related to each other or fewer tables with more fields? yada yada yada ..

I have of course compacted, indexed, etc. All hardware has PLENTY of memory and in most cases are MUCH faster machines than they used to have. The amount of data is NOT a cause, we have archived and pared down files beyond the client's desires.

I would welcome any tips that relate specifically to Access2k (not defrag, empty recycle bin, etc. please) and any insights into XP (is it faster? faster than 97?).

Thanks in advance.

Holding back some points for multiple awards ..:)
