Default Access slow to large word document.

Hello, everybody:

I have a word document with about 1,000 rows and 10 columns accessing
over a 100Mb network. When the user begins entering into the next
cells, 1001 +, it's extremely slow. One solutions I've come up with
is to create a "part 2" word document, which seems to work, but is
this normal to start seeing access slow down after 1,000 cells? The
user is using Word 2000 PRO.

Thanks,

--TJ

Yes, it's normal. Word really doesn't like large tables, and Word 2000
was worse about it than more recent versions.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...FastTables.htm for some
suggestions, but the main tip is to break that huge table into lots of
smaller ones.
