I am running a fairly elaboraete (many large tables; much VBA Code) Access Database Application at at Non-Profit Food Pantry. It runs under Access 2007 and is split into front end and back end databases.
I find that the database is quite fast, when only one user is logged on. As soon as a second user logs on, the speed drops by about half, with some forms taking up to 8 seconds to come up. During most of this 8 second wait time there is a message in the top left of the Access screen that says "Access Not Responding". I take this to mean that the other user is using a needed table on the back end database, and Access has temporarily locked out the User who is waiting.
Is there any way to improve this situation? Should another applicable Database (other than Access) be considered?
Thank you,
Ron Cochran
