Hi, I have a forum which is in access 2000. However when there are a few members online and on a 56k connection it is terribly slow. Would converting it to SQL speed it up and how hard is this to do?

thanks in advance!

Not very, Access has an upgrade tool called the Upsize Wizard. You can find it on the Microsoft Access Menu

Go to:
TOOLS
   |_
    DATABASE UTILITIES
                   |_
                    UPSIZE WIZARD

It seems that there may be two conditions slowing the board down: database and bandwidth. If the slowdown problem is caused by or increased by a greater number of simultaneous visitors, then switching from Access to SQL Server will most likely speed things up.

But, if the slowdown is because the users are on a relatively slow dial-up connection, then switching to SQL Server will have only a minimal impact, if any.

thank you for your help and input. Is it difficult to convert to sql from access? What is the best server to host the boards on where they will run quickly!!?
