Access running very slow

[k11ngy]

We have an access database which has approx 8000 patients information on it. It is incredibly slow when we try to input additional info onto the various tabs also when we do a search…Any ideas why this is or a way to quicken it up??
Or is it just the volume on data & we have to grin and bear it??

File is on a network and shared

Thanks for any help
