I have always had odd things happen with Access apps on a terminal server.  Is 
it a front end back end arrangement with data and forms in separate mdb files?
 
I got best results by splitting the forms and data into two different mdbs and 
then launching the client side mdb with a batch file that grabs a version from 
the network and copies it to their %profilepath%/Data and launches it.  I have 
mandatory profiles for my users so the mdb is never there and only exists 
during their session.  That way they don't run into corruption issues by 
accessing the same front side file.  It also makes pushing out versions easy.

We are currently troubleshooting a performance issue with AccessXP running on 
Win2k Terminal Server. 

With the database on a F&P cluster in the same data center, we get query 
results in 100 seconds. 
Accessing the same database from a PC running Win2k and AccessXP we get results 
in 40 seconds. 
Move the database local to the Terminal Server we get results in 9 seconds. 

We are running out of ideas and are starting the case with MS Premiere support, 
but I don't know how far that will get us.

Has anyone done any tweaking to OfficeXP / AccessXP to help with performance?  
AccessXP seems to be the only app showing this behavior.

Thanks in advance.
