>The application handles workorders for a phone company.. For each workorder, they are building a header table (One record) plus a detail table(one record per part/labor item), plus a materials table is generated from the detail table... Add to this, that the main data entry form is layed out using private datasessions that have to be tracked (so that reports can be run off the active form's data).. And you have a royal pain in the A$$..

What do you mean by "datasessions have to be tracked"?

>We tried the app in one site for testing purposes, over a LAN, one of our faster sites, and found people were getting flustered with the speed of the app...

What LAN software? What type of computers (CPU/RAM)?

As far as I understand, the problem is with the data entry form speed. Try to see which part is slow. This is one of the best places to apply divide et impera method. Try to see if the slowness comes from the data processing, objects that take to long to be instantiated, etc.
