MS Access Forum / General 1 / May 20083 machines, same application, different speed results
I have an app on three different machines; front end on the PC, backend on the network. These are my results on loading the application when I press OK from the Logon form (username/pw) to presenting the opening form and finishing running setup routines. On the old machine (4 yrs old). Win2000. Dell. 1 gig memory A97 (backend A97 format) 7-8 seconds A2003 (backend A97 format) 12-14 seconds A2003 (backend A2003 format) 8-9 seconds 2 new machines. XP. 2 gigs ram. Dell. A2003 (backend A97 format) 25 seconds to load on each. A2003 is service pack 2. All computers use the same desktop icon. Both new machines are extremely slow on opening and going into various forms. They're on the same network, same backend file as the old machine. They use Norton AntiVirus. The backend resides on a Novell file server. Any ideas on what could cause the new computer load time to almost double in time compared to the old machine? I would think a faster processor and more memory would make them faster. > I have an app on three different machines; front end on the PC, backend > on the network.

All other things being equal, I'd say it's Win2000 vs. WinXP when accessing a Netware server. It would be interesting to see if you experience the same problem by putting the back end on one of your new XP machines and then testing the front end on the old Win2000 versus the front end on the second new WinXP machine (thus eliminating Novell as the possible culprit) while connecting to the back end on the first XP machine using simple file sharing.

I definitely need to see if there's a difference between the two. I'll post my results later. >>> I have an app on three different machines; front end on the PC, backend >>> on the network.

You could have knocked me over with a feather on Sunday. I opened the new XP machine and the main form displayed in 3-4 seconds, all load processes complete. Same thing on many tests. Hurray! Then I opened the app on another machine and it went back to a typical slow load of 25-30 seconds. Bummer. I got in contact with their network guy and we hashed some things out. I asked him to check on NortonAV...they have the corporate edition. He stopped the scanning on MDB files. When he did that it dropped the load time back to 3-4 seconds. Hurray! Which is worse, Necrotizing Fasciitis or Norton Anythingitis? > I got in contact with their network guy and we hashed some things out. > I asked him to check on NortonAV...they have the corporate edition.

Hurray! > Which is worse, Necrotizing Fasciitis or Norton Anythingitis? :) With my luck I'd contact Dracunculiasis after drinking Symantec kool-aide. >>I got in contact with their network guy and we hashed some things out. >>I asked him to check on NortonAV...they have the corporate edition.
