Default Access runs slow under Windows 7

Hi Mark,

I've been running Access 2003, 2007, and 2010 under Windows XP and Windows
7. My XP machines are considerably faster because I have more RAM on most of
them, but even on a 1 GB netbook, forms are still spunky runningAccess 2010.
The difference might be a few seconds (1 sec with 3 GB and 3 sec with 1 GB
and a slower processor)

The worst form I have takes at most 20 seconds to load, but it must deal
with 12 million records.

Try, rebuilding the database by importing all the records into a new clean
database created on the target machine.

My client has new machines with Windows 7. On an Access 2002 app, a
particular screen takes 90 minutes to load running under Access 2007. On
another new laptop running XP, the same screen takes about 10 seconds
running Access 2007. On a remote desktop session running Access 2002 it
took 2 seconds.

Is anyone else having this problem and did you cure it?

Thanks for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
