Default Slow form, again

Jennifer:

One thing you can try is to make a copy of the BackEnd onto your local
machine and see if that speeds things up. If it does then you know that it is
the network that is slowing you down.

Are you running SQL Server or Oracle on the BackEnd? I had a similar problem
on a project that had Oracle on the BE and it was terrible slow. I converted
all my Access SQL to pass-through SQL and the it sped up the application
tremendously. The form load went from approximately 1-2 minutes down to a few
seconds.

Okay I'm back again, with the same problem, and at a loss. This is my 2nd
database, and same brick wall! The loading of my form takes upwards of 40
seconds to load. I've gone through steps offered at previous posts
(http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm).

I even downloaded a template database (sales pipeline) from Microsoft and
once split it slowed down dramatically as well...takes a solid minute to load
their form. Could that suggest that my database design is solely not the
problem and perhaps the network doesn't help?

Details of my database: My form pulls off a query (query takes about 10
seconds for 20 records), SQL is
SELECT Opportunity.Opportunity_ID, Opportunity.Date_Today,
Opportunity.Business_Segement, Opportunity.Source, Opportunity.[Opportunity
Details], Opportunity.Status, Opportunity.Opportunity_Value, Opportunity.GP,
Opportunity.Timeframe_Months, Opportunity.Client_ID, Opportunity.Approval_ID,
Opportunity.Client_Type, Opportunity.AM_ID, Opportunity.[Additional Notes]
FROM Opportunity;

I have 3 subforms but those seem to load fairly quickly when run
individually (3-5 seconds).


I've read, "Delete the SQL from the RecordSource and RowSource properties of
the form, subforms, comboboxes and listboxes. Now in the Form_Load event load
the appropriate SQL." I have three combo boxes, details to follow below.
This may be the important piece I am missing only because I am confused on
how to go about. If this is the culprit of my design could someone please
help me with what the appropriate SQL that should be loaded on the Event page?

Combo Box Details:
Client: Control Source Client_ID/Row Source Client_Name/Row Source Type
Table/Query

Manager: Control Source AM_ID/Row Source SELECT [Account_Managers
Query].[AM_ID], [Account_Managers Query].[Account_Manager_Name] FROM
[Account_Managers Query] ORDER BY [Account_Manager_Name];/Row Source Type
Table/Query

Segment: Control Source Business_Segment/Row Source
"Corp";"Mid";"Other"/Row Source Type Value List

Please help. I hear grunts when people have to enter data into this database.

Thanks!
