Guest bg_ie@yahoo.com Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I have a problem with my Access database and a solution is offered on the following website - Microsoft Access Performance FAQ http://www.granite.ab.ca/Access/performancefaq.htm Here's the solution - "Alternatively I'd suggest having the network people setup a share right on the directory that contains your database. Instead of using \ \Server\Dir1\Subdir2\Subdir3\subdir4\subdir5\backend.mdb you'd use \ \server\Sharesubdir5. " "They can can append a $ to the end of the share name to make it a hidden share so as to not confuse people. You would also need to use a $ at the end of the share name as well. As in \\server \Sharesubdir5$." I have full rights on the server in question and was wondering how I should create this share. Thanks for your help, Barry.
