Access 2007 date control very slow

Hi,

I have have an Access 2003 application with Sql Express as back end.
After migrating the front end to Access 2007, users have a serious
problem:
One form contains text controls bound to date fields.
When one user opens the form and clicks the date control, the
application does not react for about 10 seconds.
If the user types a date in that time, the characters appear only
after that 10 sec. period.

There is no event that's fired by typing in that control.

Has anyone observed something similar ?

I have a hard time trying to convince the customer that my application
is fine and that they should return to Access 2003 !

Thanks,

Re: Access 2007 date control very slow

I have over 100 users on my 2007 app, many having multiple users sharing one
database, and I have only heard praise on the date control, and nothing like
you describe. I can only guess that it has something to do with sql express,
as the back-end db in my app is access 2007 with regular jet access, and not
sql.
