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?

Without moralizing too much on your pageframe being too "busy," which it does appear to be :)
You didn't say what whether it's vfp5 or 6. As Garrett said, there's a slowness bug in 6, especially for refreshing pages and grids. Whether in 5 or 6, have you run the Coverage Log/Profiler? That's a big help in rooting out the slow code...
