I have an MS Access 2003 Database with more than 60 tables and 120,000 records. This DB works on the network and it is split into a back end(BE) and a front end(FE). At most two or three users use this DB at the same time.
I want to improve the performance as it is currently quite slow. Which approach will improve performance – using FE/BE or putting the whole DB on a shared folder (without FE/BE) and then using it?
Under no circumstances should you run an unsplit MS Access app in a multiuser environment. If your app is slow, the article posted by vulkanino is a step on the way to making it faster. You should make sure that all you tables have suitable indexes, that queries use those indexes as far as possible, that forms are based on queries, not tables and that complex forms are carefully organised. For example, subform controls can be loaded with forms as required.
