A couple possibilities suggest themselves...
Is there a chance that the network over which the Access front-end links
to
the SQL-Server has been recently "upgraded" to include antivirus
protection
(or an updated antivirus table loaded)? My installations suffered a
similar
slow-down after an "upgrade".
Is there a chance that your form is loading ALL the records before
displaying? That is, is the form bound to a single record, or to the
entire
table?
Also, there might be an issue with having/holding a connection open rather
than re-connecting each time.
Good luck!
