> We are instantiating a class with a lot of combo boxes and custom controls.

How many is a lot? Are these controls directly on the form or do you have a page frame with some number of pages?

> The executable resides on the local NT workstations and the data resides on the server (Novell 4.x).

It is hard to tell if the form load is slow because of the number of controls or the time it takes to access files on your server. How does this application perform if you run against local data?
