Slow to link tables over a network
Why is is so slow to link tables to over a network? Straight Access MDB
linking to another Access MDB. If linking to local hard drive it links real fast! I've noticed some networks (very few) link real fast - usually Novell. Is there some network transport service that controls this? Environment is Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 workstations, Access 2000. Basically a 2000 environment. Network is switched at 100MB. Any suggestion is great appreciated. Scott

Slow to link tables over a network
Scott,
If you're linking multiple tables, then after you've linked the first one, open a recordset to it and leave it open until you've finished linking the remaining tables. This prevents Access from attempting to delete the LDB file, which it wants to do after every RefreshLink or TableDefs.Append operation.
