Slow opening of tables.
I have Access2000 with WindowsXP
I have just renamed several tables in my application, and this then required me to follow though and re-do relationships and rename objects in derived queries and forms. Now I find that the tables open much more slowly than before, even after several database compacts and tests by the table wizard. The forms and queries open as fast as before, and only the tables give trouble. In fact all the tables in the database screen now open more slowly. Can anyone show me what is wrong, and is there an alternate proper way to rename a set of tables? Regards,Frank |

Slow opening of tables.
The problem is almost certainly the Name AutoCorrect mis-feature, which is
supposed to track and handle issues caused by renaming, but is very buggy, incomplete, and a performance disaster. Uncheck the boxes under: Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect. Then compact the database. If that does not solve the issue, create a new (blank) database. Immediately turn off the Name AutoCorrect options, and then import everything from your old database. For more infformation on this mis-feature and more than a dozen bugs it triggers, see: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-03.html -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

Slow opening of tables.
Thanks, I tried what you suggested but to no avail.
But I fixed it by deleting some old remmed out tables from the past (one by one) and there was one particular one white took a long time to delete and this may have been the culprit. In future I will store all my old trial and obsolete tables in some other place, remote from the current application. Regards Frank "Allen Browne" wrote in message . au...

Slow opening of tables.
Okay. Glad you were able to work around the issue.
If it was not Name AutoCorrect, it could have been Subdatasheets, or the caching of paths for the Connect propety (if you have attached tables). Tony Toews has a Performance FAQ that explains these issues at: http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
