My experience with form loading time is if it takes more than 1.5 seconds users become “impatient”. Some will even turn off the computer thinking it will “speed things up”! Some things to consider:

1. Are you loading all data from your tables? This will take longer and the larger the amount of data the longer it will take to instantiate a form.
2. Where is the exe? If on the client side you will realize faster load times.
3. Check your code. How many refreshes if any, do you call?
4. Speed of LAN, amount of RAM, Hard disk speed, network traffic.


Little things like NoData on Load = .T. also help when called for.
