If this belongs in the Administration forum, please move it there.

I've created a File DSN connection which enables me to Link tables in Access to another box running SQL Server 2000. When I link a small table with only 5 records in it, the SQL hard drive spins like mad...I mean like MAD. When I first try to link the tables, it goes nuts for about 30 seconds. After linking the table, it still goes nuts for about 3-4 seconds and then finally displays the data. If I click around in any of the 5 records, the SQL drives will chirp for a split second.

Anyone else run into this? Do you recommend not linking tables in Access? Is there a performance hit or is this normal?

check other ODBC settings (on its control panel)

maybe e.g. ODBC trace logging is ON.
