    Some DB really slow and Some works just fine

    I recently created a database from scratch with over 30 queries and I don't know when but at one point, it became extremely slow. Opening,running, and saving a query would take a minute to load. If I click the Criteria field, it would sometimes take 2 minutes before I can type. I called the company IT help desk before, and they said it's not our servers, it probably has to do with Access itself. I have other databases on the same drive. linked with the same tables. And those work just fine. However, I didn't make those databases. Any ideas why it's like this?

    Have you run Compact & Repair? If that doesn't help, try importing everything into a new db.

    The Compact & Repair only took a sec to complete, not sure if that's normal. But that didn't help. How do I import everything into a new db?

    Create a new db file. Use the Import wizard.

    If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Importing doesn't help either. I asked another co-worker to go into the db and see if it's slow for her, she said it's working fine for her. So I really don't know what the problem is.

    Thanks anyway though.

    So something has changed on your computer.

    I suppose you have rebooted at some time since the issue started?

    Maybe uninstall/reinstall Access?

    I believe I found the issue, although I'm not sure why it's only affecting me. But basically too many queries. I created a db, imported all of my tables and 6 queries that I'm currently working on and it's working fine. It's a shame I don't have a solution for this. I suppose I can work on the queries in my new db and then import it back in when I'm done with it.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
