ACCESS query so sloooowww ?

Hi, I am happy that FP2k offers this convenient way to put databases on the server. I am hosted by an ISP who uses the FP2k extensions and ASP.
The data connection is set up online by FP(not as a machine datasource).
When I add a page that shows just a little table and 30 rows, it takes 30-60 seconds, until it has built up.
The recordset is based on a query within the mdb.
Do you have any idea, what to change in order to speed things up ?
People will click on CLOSE before they see my table !

Is there a URL so we can check this out?

This very well could be a problem on the ISP side.  Speed is relative, but 30-60 seconds is hardly a horrible delay over the internet...I have a very fast connection, yet locationg a page and getting it to start loading can tak 15 - 30 seconds, depending on net traffic, etc.

Show me where, and I'll see what I can find out from the page.

Cheers,
Rod

I don't really know what to say...I used a P2-300 w 256KB RAM and NT 4.0 SP5 IE5.0 , dialup connection ISDN 64k. I tested it for several days.
I retried now at home and it still took about 20-30 sec. (P3-450, 128, NT4, ISDN).
The ISP's servers are in Germany !
OK, but how could I add a 'please wait' message until the page is loaded ?
I will also try to use ACCESS instead of WEBBOTS ! Thanks, I was not aware of that possibility.
