Access 2007 ADP performance stinks - would ODBC be faster?

Tags: ACCESS
Here I sit with what I thought would be a fairly straightforward upgrade from an Access2003 MDB to an Access2007 ADP using SSMA. After MONTHS of work, I've actually got the ADP working almost completely. The client has now migrated to it.

Now the performance issues jump out - using this ADP is disgustingly slow. Things that took a couple of seconds in an MDB in 2003 take a LONG time in the ADP. Just switching records on a form is painful.

The SQL database is working fine, and is fast when accessed by anything but the ADP.

I've been searching the internet and keep seeing mention of using an MDB with ODBC to connect to SQL instead of an ADP.

Would this help? Would this be reliable?

Is there a way to do this w/o significant rewrite of the ADP?

The performance currently is DISMAL and inexcusable (thanks Microsoft - apparently ADPs worked better in 2003). I need to improve it drastically.

kuhngroup, how did you create a new 2007 adp? I don't have that option in Access 2007
 
 
Comment by kuhngroup
Nice feature in Access 2007 is that you do not have the direct option to create an ADP (Microsoft doesn't want you to do it anymore).

You can Create a new Access database project, and make the project name extension .ADP and it will treat it as a new ADP project.

It works.
