>What I did (I have to try this at work to compare load times, since I'm on a laptop at home, currently) was move all the grids onto their own modal form with default data environment. This seems to help a lot as I don't have to pull data for teh grids when the form loads. The grid forms are called by command button. Much quicker load times.
Jonathan,
This is a huge topic. If possible spare time to read chapters 4, 17 and 22 on online help. What you did is also documented in those chapters (not directly saying grids maybe but something like display only when needed or saveas class and instantiate class only when user attempts to view etc).
