Slow access to OLE Object s

[gobble]

I have a form which displays OLE Linked objects. On some users machines the access is instant, but others the icon takes it's time to show in the box and each time you scroll to the next it looks like it is trying to link the icon. They also find it really slow to add a new object and selecting the browse from Insert Object Dialogue Box. Has anyone else encounter this or know why this would be happening on some machines but not others?

Any info would be great!

All OLE servers need a lot of RAM and are highly dependend on a standardized HDD structure. This might be the reason for your problems.
In case you want to display photos in OLE controls then you should simply use a Image control as a very effective workaround.
You can even store the JPGs without bloating inside the tables with extra software.
I hope this helps.
