In theory, it will make a difference on how fast the forms are drawn on the screen.
FYI you might play around with thisform.lockscreen property to help the visual effect of it 'working'...another thing you might try to speed up the form loading is take all the objects out of the last two pages, put them all in a container (one big container per page), then the first time they goto that page frame, manually put the container in the page. This way VFP doesnt have to load all those objects with the form as it loads the 1st time.

>Does a high performance video card, such as the ones used for gaming with lots of memory improve performance of desktop applications written in VFP?. The machine I develop on is a dell Pent III 1.0 Ghz, 512 RAM, windows XP Pro with a pretty standard video card, I don't even know how much memory it has. I have been working on a form that has a pageframe with 3 pages and each page has a dozen bblistview.ocx controls, between 1 and 10 textboxes and several dozen lines that seperate the page. When I run the app and that form on my machine, you can see it "working".
