Access hangs for approx. 30 seconds when opening a second database

[Andreas Stransky via AccessMonster.com]

I am using Access2003 and Win2K.

When i open the first mdb, everything is still alright.
When i open an additional mdb (in a new instance of access), this takes up
to 30 seconds. During this time, windows itself behaves normally, and other
apps work as usual. After the delay, the second Access Screen shows up and
the MDB is working normal.

This happens regardless which 2 MDBs i am using, an whether they have an
autostart macro or autoload form or not.

please help, thx.

The three most common performance problems in Access 2000 or newer
are:
- LDB locking which a persistent recordset connection or an always
open bound form corrects (multiple users)
- sub datasheet Name property set to [Auto] should be [None]
- Track name AutoCorrect should be off

If the problem is for everyone when starting up the MDB then it likely
needs a decompile.
