Is your Microsoft Access database running slowly, freezing, or crashing? Over time, Access files can grow bloated, accumulate corruption, or be weighed down by inefficient queries and forms. The good news: with proper optimization, you can restore speed, reliability, and efficiency without rebuilding from scratch.
No more waiting for forms, queries, or reports to open.
Reduce corruption and system errors by cleaning up the backend.
Support more users, more data, and more processes without lag.
Make the system feel professional, reliable, and easy to use.
This built-in feature reduces file size and fixes minor corruption. Run it weekly or set it to trigger on exit.
Store your tables in a shared backend and link them to frontend interfaces. This improves speed and allows better version control.
Delete old forms, queries, reports, or fields that are no longer needed. These can slow down the database and confuse users.
Use indexed fields, avoid wildcard searches at the beginning of criteria, and reduce nested subqueries. Efficient SQL makes a big difference.
Indexes improve lookup speed but can hurt insert/update performance. Add them only to fields used in joins or filters.
Macros are fine for basic automation, but VBA offers more control, speed, and error handling — especially for complex processes.
Caused by inefficient data loading or unbound controls.
Often linked to size limits, file sharing, or network issues.
Resolved by splitting the database and optimizing tables/queries.
Diagnosed and resolved with clean code, optimized queries, and smart memory use.
