FE / BE performance on network

[MajP]

I am not sure if this is an Access questions or a network question. I know a little about Access and nothing about networks. I have a split database with all users running the front end off their local machines with their own copy of Access.
For testing purposes I ran the front end and back end on my computer. I tested it with multiple instances of Access running and it worked fine. Once I put the back end on the network, the application became unusable once more than one user was running the front end. Forms that took 2 seconds to load, took about a minute to load. Any larger forms just locked up the application. The front end is compiled, compacted, and is tested as both an mde and a mdb.
Anyone have suggestions on strategies or things that I should explore.
Thanks

I put the back end on the network

What operating system is the networked server running?

evalesthy,
Thanks for the FAQ. There is some good stuff in there.

Unbelievable. In the FAQ it talks about turning the AutoCorrect Track Name feature off. I knew nothing about this. Once I did this everything went about 100 times faster. Go figure. This is an important piece of information. I also created a dummy hidden form to lock the .ldb file and this seemed to solve all my problems. Thanks.
