I don't mention anything about Word or Excel documents in my
performance FAQ. And you may have trouble getting much help with
Word or Excel performance problems. So for Access only performance
issues only see the following.
The three most common performance problems in Access 2000 or newer
are:
- LDB locking which a persistent recordset connection or an always
open bound form corrects (multiple users)
- sub datasheet Name property set to [Auto] should be [None]
- Track name AutoCorrect should be off
If the problem is for everyone when starting up the MDB then it likely
needs a decompile.
For more information on these, less likely causes, other tips and
links to MS KB articles visit my Access Performance FAQ page at
