Access connected to sharepoint list
- Dec 06, 2020
tks for your anser.
Numbers of Rows is different each time, but around 3000 Rows.
It dont help if I am waiting, if I close access and reopen, and only run the last query, still the same. If I keep on running the query it Will loose connection, and after that the query has Been executed.
It is Strange it has Been working for a while without problems.
How many rows are in that SharePoint list, in total?
While 3,000 is less than the typical 5,000 where we often see slowdowns in SharePoint lists with Access, if that is 3,000 ADDITIONAL rows, you might well be over-taxing the SP lists.
What you describe suggests that you are approaching, or have passed, some threshold number of records.
If that's not it, I'd be looking at things like network connections, and so on that can impact performance.

A total of 3,000 rows isn't huge, even for SP, so I'd be back to looking at two possibilities.
You mentioned this is a delete query? Are you deleting every record in the list, or using a filter to select some subset of the total? If it is 3,000 and that's all of the records, that is one thing. If it is a filtered subset of a larger number, that will be slower, and potentially very slow.
The other possibility is that something else in your environment changed. Unfortunately that often happens and we don't know about it until problems pop up. Since we can't see the system nor what might have changed, we would have to rely on the SharePoint admins for information.

Hi thank you
It is a delete query, deleting the difference between to tables, on each 3000 Rows.
It will delete about the Half of the Rows.
