Run Access and Your Application Locally
In Chapter 22, "Developing Multiuser and Enterprise Applications," you will learn that it is best to install both the Access software and your application objects on each user's local machine. You should store only the data tables on a network file server. Otherwise, you will be sending dynamic link libraries (DLLs), object linking and embedding (OLE) objects, help files, type libraries, executables, and database objects all over the network wire.TIP
One viable option is to run Access 2007 using Windows 2003 Terminal Services. In this scenario, Access is installed on a powerful server machine running Windows 2003 Terminal Services. Workstations connect to the terminal server using the Terminal Services Client utility. No data travels over the network wire. Each user becomes a session running on the server machine. All processing is done on the server machine. Keystrokes and mouse movements are sent from the client machine to the server, which processes them and sends a screen image back to the client.Do Everything You Can to Make Windows Itself Faster
I am always amused that the users with the slowest machines and the least memory have the most accessories running. These accessories include multimedia, fancy wallpapers, and other nifty utilities. If performance is a problem, you might try to see whether eliminating some of the frivolous niceties improves the performance of your application. If it does, encourage the user to eliminate the frills, get more memory, or accept your application's performance. Furthermore, if you are finished using other applications, such as Microsoft Excel, close them. This frees up system memory for Access.If you have Windows XP, a tip to make it run faster is to shut down and restart on a regular basis. Memory tends to become fragmented, making applications run more slowly. Although I can go weeks or months in Windows 2003 Server without rebooting, I find it beneficial to reboot my Windows XP machine once a week.
