Access 2013 is working extremely well at runtime, however development is substantially more time consuming due to a prolonged delay (up to several minutes) when moving a query from design view to datasheet view, or a form from design view to form view. I have experienced this delay with standalone databases as well as databases with linked tables to other Access database tables and with SQL server database tables. I have never experienced this type of delay with prior versions of Access. I most recently migrated from Access 2010 to Access 2013.
MY OS is Windows 7 64 bit. Microsoft Office 2013 is the fully installed 32 bit version. I have 16 gigs of RAM on my desktop with a NVIDIA Quadro 2000 display card, all my applications are designed to run locally.
