SYMPTOMS
Closing forms, tables, or queries based on linked (attached) Sybase SQL Server tables can take a long time.
CAUSE
When you close the table, Microsoft Access issues an ODBC API SQLCancel() or SQLFreeStmt() call. This tells the server to cancel processing of the current query. However, some network libraries are not able to cancel a query request in an efficient manner. Instead, they continue to read the query results from the server until the process is complete, discarding the results.
RESOLUTION
If you are using standard IPX, append the string "URGENT" (without the quotation marks) to the end of the SQUERY or the <MYDATASOURCE> line in the WIN.INI file. Substitute the name of the SQL Server for <MYDATASOURCE>. This tells the network library that your SQL Server supports in-band attention signals. The new line in the WIN.INI file should look like:
<MYDATASOURCE> = 111.111.111.111,3801,URGENT
