QA database change take too much time

Hi,
MSSQL 2K, SP4 on XP sp2
While connected to local SQL server, when I click on DatabBase drop down
Combo in Query Analyzer, it takes around 10+ seconds before displaying the
databases to select, however if I connect to another SQL server on my office
LAN, then list appears with no time.
appreciate your help to fix this.
Thanks
FalikAre the databases set to autoclose on your local SQL Server?

You might be you have enabled the database option "AUTOCLOSE". THis will
close
the MDF and LDF as soon as the last user logs of the database. Again the MDF
and LDF will be opened once a user logins to the database.
How to check this option is checked:-
1. Enterprise manager -- Databases -- Select the database
2. Right click and select properties -- Choose options
3. Chek whether AUTOCLOSE option is "checked". If yes then remove it
This will ensure that MDF and LDF will never closed as soon as last user
logs off.
Thanks
