Access 2003 conversion - database slow opening

[trScott]

I just converted a large Access 97 database to an Access 2003 database. When using Access 97, the startup form would show up almost instantly. With 2003, it is taking 20 seconds before I see the startup form.

I cannot figure out if it some setting on my computer OS (XP) or a database setting. Other individuals using the same database on their machine are not having the slow startup issue.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

menu tools -> Options
in the General tab untick all checked autocorrect features.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for the tip - I will uncheck autocorrect features; however, I discovered the problem. My antivirus software (Free AVG) was the culprit. Didn't think it would as both the 97 and 2003 versions have the same extension, but apparently it was doing some internal scans and slowing the startup process. I had to disable the scanning of the program.
