I have an application with the front end in Access 2007 (Access 2000 file) with the backend on SQL Server 2008. The application has been running for two years now and I have noticed that on some PCs the queries are taking forever to run while on others it runs quite fast. Each PC has its own file of Access, so they don’t share the file.
Simple queries with just one table take a long time to run. The biggest table has 578,000 records.
Sometimes it takes 10 seconds to load a simple table with just 6 records. We are on a gigabit network.
I have removed the linked tables in Access and added them again. This seemed to improve the query times considerably.
Which Driver is better to connect to SQL Server 2008: SQL Server Native Client 10.0 v.2007.100.2531.00 or SQL Server v. 2000.85.1132.00
The ODBC Driver connection that I used is SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1132
