Thanks very much for the reply. All of the steps you have
outlined below were taken prior to the performance
problems. In addition to those steps, I've also unchecked
error checking. Two additional things to note:

1. It has been suggested to us that starting with Access
2000, unicode was introduced which could be adding to the
amount of data being passed between front and back end?

2. We did a packet trace while running a specific process
on both a NT/97 (front and back) and converted XP/2003. In
the NT/97 configuration 12 megs is being passed between
client and server. On the XP/2003 configuration 75 megs
were being passed. Back end server remained constant, all
current service packs have been applied. Could this be due
to #1 above and/or some kind of data type conversion?

I should also note that we are are a platinum support
customer and have yet been unable to resolve this problem
with Microsoft.

Any help is again GREATLY appreciated!!!
