Very slow database loading

[Paul7905]

Hello all.

I have several access databases on my laptop. I am running XP professional and Office 2000 professional.

I am experincing very slow loading of any of the databases if I use a shortcut to the MDB on my desktop, typically, after clicking on the desktop shortcut icon, I get an hourglass that lasts up to a couple of minutes after which I get the user/password screen and all is good.

If use a shortcut directly to Access, Access loads instantly, then using the file-open technique to open any of the MDB's, the database will load instantly.

Has anyone experienced Access being VERY slow to load using a desktop shortcut to the MDB and have a solution to fix this problem?

Thanks
Paul

TRy disabling your virus scanner, and then trying. If that sorts it, see if you can access files to the excluded file types.

You may need to add the .lnk file to excluded files as well.
