Question

So I developed this access database application (just the back end), on a lap top, and now I have tried to move it onto a network drive. The purpose of this thing is to track data for metrics, so there is a lot of data (700k rows at 15 fields for main table), and it runs these top N queries that it builds charts with…

so i put it all on the network shared drive today and tried to run one chart..

the query seems to get stuck in the middle (just judging from the little progress bar on the bottom left side), and after waiting 5 minutes if I control break i get a message that says OLE Server Error…..

please don’t tell me that it will work on a laptop and not on a network shared drive?

anyone know whats up with this?

Answer 1

Examine your queries and your connection method to ensure you are not dragging large volumes of data over the network to be processed/filtered in the front-end.
