Yes, it is a LAN (not wirless), and excuse my earlier ignorance.

I do have a form that is bound to a dummy table in the BE to keep a
persistent connection (it opens with the welcome screen).

It's truly frustrating because I want to believe that it is the network and
not my database design, although I am not an expert on databases (read and
learn is how I get by).

I didn't see this in the performance FAQ link (although I could have missed
it), and I don't think you mentioned it: when the database BE is on the LAN
(not wireless, I hope), open a form bound to a BE table (or a query that uses
a BE table). Minimize it if you like, but leave it open. Now try to run the
problem query, or load the form. Any change?

Does that help?? Sorry IT is not my area

Exactly what kind of network? (I am assuming the back end is an MDB, so
don't even concern yourself with Oracle or SQL Server.)
