Program not Responding

[Roger Bell]

I have installed an access data base on several computers running Access 2003.

On one particular Computer, the data base takes ages to load and often
advises that the Program is NOT RESPONDING.

Can anyone advise what the cause could be?

Thanks for any help

I would go to Microsoft.com and make sure you have downloaded all the
hotfixes and latest service packs.

Whenever I've seen that it's been down to a flaky network.

Also temporarily disable the virus checker for testing. Sometimes they can be
a little over aggressive. It that helps, you can often set it to not check
..mdb or .md* files.

Is this when someone is already using the BE database file and this is
the second user into the file?

If to the problem is LDB locking which a persistent recordset
connection or an always open bound form corrects (multiple users)
