accessing a linked dbase IV file is slow...
I have an access 2000 app that uses a linked table to an older application
built in dbIV. I have a combo box whose record source property is set to an SQL select clause from this 'linked' table. The combo box allows the user to scroll through the records or they can simply begin entering a portion of the field and it will filter down to what they want. The users are complaining that this process of case# selection is very very slow - and indeed it is. There are many records in this linked dbase IV table to boot. Can anyone think of anything I could possibly do to speed this up? This particular dbase file I am linking to is being updated on a regular basis throughout the day by an old legacy dbaseIV application and as such I really can't create a duplicate of it to use in my app (which would really speed it up for sure.) Does anyone have any ideas or are they going to have to just live with it until the old legacy dbase app is converted (it is scheduled to be - but not for another year anyway...) Thanks, Brad |
