I am running Windows 2000 and Access 2000. I have built a database that resides on a shared location on a novell server. For some users, the database runs as efficiently for them as it does for me. Some other users continually have MUCH slower performance.
The database runs an update where it imports data from DBF files and stores the data tables for all future use. I and the fast users can run the update in 1 minute. Slow users are having to wait 30 minutes or more the update to complete).
I have not independantly verified whether the problem persists in all activities in the database or if it is just during update. I am going to collect some census data on the OS and Access versions on the various PC's who are having good and bad performance and I will get back to you with that.
Is this a known problem? Anyone already battled with this?
