How to make a query run faster

  • Hi,

    I am opening a query in Access which has two linked sql tables but it takes to long to open. Can I choose a method (ADO) opening that query? If not, is there a way to speed up the process?

    thanks

  • What is the type of query... is it just a select or is it an update?

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    thanks for your reply. It is a select query

  • OK if you are only doing a select why not use a SQL View to create the join you need and then link to the view instead of the two tables. SQL Server should take care of all the overhead in joining the tables for you and it would be much faster.
