    Access over network


    If my connection string to a mdb is on a network drive using a remote server, is it true that the entire database is transfered to me over the network before I can apply any SELECTs etc I want to perform ?

    That is correct. However if you have SQL express (free) and use that as your backend, then you could host the frontend on your machine and do the queries (SP) and processing on the server side which will greatly increase the speed of the things.

    Thanks for that confirmation. I have been given this project from a previous developer, and am trying to understand why it is sometime so slow to startup.

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