Another Vista network problem. This has been around for a while, I just noticed it.
The network is throttled to not interrupt music files (including Windows sounds).
Also, the throttling is shared between all of the network adaptors you have installed, so the link to your file server is throttled worse if you also have a wireless card installed.
Fix is to turn off the Multi-Media service that handles this. Modify the HKLM key "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audiosrv\Dep" to remove MMCS and set MMCS to disabled in services.
Or as a first measure, just turn off all Windows sounds. (I don't mean just turn off the speakers!)
I'm sorry, I don't have a good reference for this. Here is an article on zdnet:

Joseph, I think you will find that David is a regular here, that he knows what he is talking about, and that he is providing information that is very relevant to getting reasonable performance when our Access databases are used across a Vista network.
Most of us do use Access on Windows, and some brave souls even venture to use it on Vista. :-)
David, thank you for posting this.
