I am running a moderate sized NT network and we have recently upgraded to Office 2000. This seemed to be a great move until users started complaining about the noticible difference running Office applications, expecally Access and Project.

Is there a fix out there? Is there a why to speed up the applications so they run at a better pace?

You will not be able to speed up the software,it could be a network factor as to how many users are accessing the applications at the same time.

Add more RAM!!! The increase in overhead due to the upgrade is making NT run hard. Office 2000 is hogging more ram and as a result less is available for everone.

Good Luck!

The problem may be caused by Microsoft Find Fast Indexer installed with Microsoft Office 2000. You can either slow down the indexer or turn it off. There are two articles on microsoft web site:
