Don,

The first thing I look at when I have this type of problem is how many times is the refresh method being called for that page. You may have a control that is refreshing multiple times.

An easy way to check this is to put a textbox on the form. Set the value to 0 then in the refresh method add the following code:

THIS.Value = THIS.Value + 1

If the value displayed is more than 1, then you need to find what is causing the form to refresh more than once.

After the first calculation the page works reasonable fast as we skip through the records. I have played with lockscreen but have not been able to find a way to speed up the initial refresh.
