Is this normal? Is it because I have so many objects within one form? Should I make each page of the data entry form a seperate VFP form, instead of using page frames?

You might need to reengineer. That's a bunch of controls, but one thing you can do is to go to each page and copy all the controls to the clipboard, delete them from the form, add a container and then paste the controls back onto the form, inside the container. Disable all the controls and then enable them in the activate of each page. This is how I've gotten better performance for pageframes.
