Slow Load Times

[just1coder]

I have a small ASP/MS Access app that was developed on a laptop (P4 1.6
w.256 MB RAM). On the notebook the database access times are about 2-7
seconds for a custom report. The same report page executed on teh server
(IIS 5) takes upwards of 30 seconds. The server is a Dual P4 Xeon, 2GB
RAM. The only thing that changes is the connection string. Both have the
latest MDAC, and Jet engine.

Any ideas?

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

For more information on these, less likely causes, other tips and
