Hi Sze Sze,

Are you using any comboboxes and/or listboxes bound to a datasource containing more than about a 1000 items ?

If so, this might well be the cause of the slow loading of the form. Try a different strategy (For example grids) to do the same.

Are you using views that download a lot of data before showing the form ? If so, you might want to start with an empty view (DAtaonload = .f.) and requery it when the user has made some selections (to narrow the numbers of records to be downloaded).

Are you using DELETED() index tags on your table. Try to remove them. They're notorious for slowing things down, especially in a network environment.

Maybe there is other code in your forms that cause the slowdown. Use SET COVERAGE to Log.txt before loading the form (in the development environment of course) to determine which commands do take a lot of time.

HTH,
