Performance issue when opening Acc97 Runtime MDB on Windows XP?

I have developed an Acc97 application and distribute it using the Wise
installation system and SageKey scripts. The installations are rock
solid and the product works well on all types of systems.

However, we have notice a peculiar issue when running on Windows XP
systems. Specifically, it may take up to one minute to re-attach the
data tables from the network server. The application is split between
a front-end and back-end. This only happens on XP workstations. We had
long since taken the advice posted by Tony Toews in September of 2002
to attach the first table and open a recordset using it before
attaching the rest. We have a recent report from a client who runs a
Windows XP peer-to-peer setup where both the workstations and the
server are running XP. Their connecting times seem to be a longer
still.

Since this only happens on XP systems, I can only assume it related to
XP somehow. Are there any other tips when using XP to help this
situation? Does anybody know any XP settings that might affect it? We
have already done a search of Google and KB articles. The only
appropriate hit seemed to be the one from Tony Toews referenced above.

Any and all help or guidance is greatly appreciated. If you wish to
respond to me via email, remove the .invaild from the end.

John,
dont know why it slow on XP (at me it works fine), but other thing - you
need to reattach only when you install new version, then it is not necessary
until you move backend. so if you "reattach every time you start mdb" -
change this to "reattach only when necessary"
