Question : Speed Issues when converting Access 97 to Access 2003

I'm wondering why when I converted a Access 97 database with code to Access 2003, the code within it runs a lot slowly. For example the code below queries data from a sqlserver 2005 database and inserts into an Access table via recordsets. In Access 97, this runs quite smothly and takes 1-2 secs for each call but now in Access 2003 it takes between 40-60 secs.

Why the big difference? what can I do to minimise the speed differences. I am trying to aviod re writing the whole thing. The whole database modules is legacy code with the author no longer with the company.

Is there any steps I can take to make a difference.
Thanks for any help given. - Brian
