Hi,

I had some queries based on ODBC-linked tables in my Access database, and they were not really fast -
so I rewrote them to pass-through queries (I also separated data extraction and the creation of calculated fields, first).

I can measure how much it takes for each query to execute, and I dont understand why:
1) a pass-through query itself takes 6 seconds to execute
2) a make-table query which just should add the records of the pass-through query from step 1) takes up to 2 minutes to execute

I also have to say, I mostly have this problem if I run the database before 10 a.m., after 10 a.m. also the make-table query performs well - approx 8 seconds. So may be it has something to do with the server side.

But I would still like to know what is this caused by.

Thanks
Katarina
