Thanks for you thoughts, Jim

>> You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you want every object in existance when the form shows you have to wait for them to be created. If your form can be divided into pages of a pageframe, then you can use delayed instantiation by only populating the visible page on form load and populating the others as they are first brought into view.


The form is broken into a page frame, still the individual pages need to have a great many objects. We have also put together a workable mechansism for delaying actions (such as resize, progagating data) until the individual page actually needs to be displayed.

All that to say, we
ve pretty well tried the measures you describe.

I was hoping for something I was missing, or a miracle.

Thanks again.
