Moving your data to views is fairly simple and once done you can tweak your performance according to your network speed by using view parameters and limiting the number of records loaded at a time.

Barabara, Micheal,

thanks a lot for the income.
The safer way for me right now is to open my tables at start-up.
I tried it and it is much quicker than it was before at forms load.
I'll take a look soon to views to see what I can do.

Thanks again.
Regards,
Claude
