The 'awfully nice' is what got me the job - VFP going where Excel is afraid to - we're in the prototype phase but I am hoping to go in the direction of determining usage priority.



>What you're doing if awfully nice (giving them everything they could possibly want...) Besides following Mike's advice (delayed instantiation) you could possibly ask your users which grids of data dicing they actually do use repeatedly. Those that are used infrequently could be moved to separate modal forms and called from your main form by the user. Those that only a very few users use frequently following the delayed instantiation would be the best route.
