slow response

I have my data linked to a SQL Server database. I would call this a tiny database as databases go. (Maybe even microscopic my largest table is about 600 rows by 7 columns) Anyway. I think my forms and the queries on the forms are very slow. One time, I went out and got a pizza while waiting for the query to finish. It still was not finished when I got back. But, seriously, what can I do to speed this puppy up.

Thank you

post the query.
what is the response time if you execute the sql directly in Sqlserver?
not much detail available

Is the workstation adequate? (eg. enough RAM)
Could it be communications to/from the server (i.e network related)
Your database may be tiny, but is the server under stress?
How much data might you be ploughing through at the server end?
Is this poor performance "every time","most of the time" or "specific"? (eg. some queries to server are OK, it just query  A and B that allow for pizza time)

Then there may be query efficiency to consider.
