Not sure which forum too put this question

I have recently upgraded my Access Database too use SQL server 2005 using the upsizing wizard. I have selected too use SQL Linked tables instead off the ADP project for ease off conversion. So now the tables are on the SQL server and the queries are still local.

On off my Access forms which returns a datasheet view by accessing the a query is now running really slowly now SQL server is the backend, I was wondering if I can put an index on one of the tables too speed it up, as the query is local too Access will this work? Just wondering if anyone ever come across this.

Yes, creating an index on the server (if it's the right index) should improve performance. Queries are processed on the server they are not processed in Access. They are stored in Access, but the query is simply passed to SQL Server so that's where the performance is determined.
