Slow import of pictures

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

When I import pictures while connected to my office network, it is really
slow. When I go to my head office which is a few hundred miles away (and
where all of the main servers are located), the import is almost instant.
Likewise when I disconnect from any network, the import is instant.

Why should it make a difference where i am located, especially as all i am
doing is importing a picture from my desktop in each instance?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks Mary, I'll give that a go. By why would my mapped network drives make
a difference?
