Splitting - slow running

Guest

Hi.

I have read quite a bit about splitting an mdb and have now tried it on a
copy. I've produced a tables only Back End and put it on the server and
created a Front End (Forms Queries etc) that I've put on a local drive of a
PC. I've then linked them.

The mdb seems to be running just as slowly as before and I remember reading
about creating an invisible bound form that stays open and this improves
speed. Could anyone elaborate on how to do that please? In my case I have a
Tab Form that loads when the database opens and this acts as the Switchboard.
The Tabs show forms and subforms. Is it therefore not already the case that I
have forms that stay open? Or do the forms open and close when I move from
one Tab to the other?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, JohnB

Thanks Allen.

I'll have a look at that.

I'm sure I read at least one source suggesting that one of the benefits of
splitting was faster running. Your own advice
(http://www.allenbrowne.com/ser-01.html) says "Loading the entire application
(forms, controls, code, etc) across the network increases traffic making your
interface slower." So I assumed you meant that Access would run slower -
perhaps you meant it makes the general interface slower for everyone,
irrespective of the application they are using.

Anyway, I can hear a strange grating noise - like the sound of a can
containing worms being slowly opened, so I'll leave it there.

Thanks again, JohnB
