I've searched your website and I found a couple threads regarding this situation, but nothing that can help me yet. Long story short, I work remotely from home often using a broadband connection at 100Mbps (same speed as my work connection). For most applications, the timing is virtually the same as in the office. Except, however, for MS Access. In the office, we have a local server, but we also have access to a term server at corporate HQ (states away). At home, I have access to both as well. All of my databases are stored on the local office server. Since my VPN is logging into the Main server at corporate HQ, could this be why my databases run so slow? The IT dept loaded my local server and MS Access onto the Term Serv, thinking that would increase speed. It hasn't. A query that takes 30 seconds to run in the office takes an hour at home. Should I move all of my databases to the Term Serv? I will be working from home starting in December for maternity leave and MUST get this speed increased asap. THANKS in advance for any help you can lend me!
