If you are using access as your backend, your bottleneck is most likely going to be it's inability to handle a high number of concurrent requests, not the speed of a single query. The best thing you can do to improve speed would bo to upgrade to SQL Server, MySQL, or some other database solution that supports more concurrent sessions.
Spending alot of time worrying about prebuilt vs inline queries in Access will be mis-spent time. -Cameron On Mon, 27 Dec 2004 14:18:22 -0400, Ron G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am tryin to determine which is more efficient: embedded sql statement or > querying a saved query on the database end.
