OK, so I created a view. One table is tiny, but the other is rather large as most of our tables are. When I browse the created view, it runs a query for about a minute or so then pops up. Is that what would happen if I used the view in a form? would it really take all that time to query each one? If so, that is way to slow and inefficient for us to use that method with our large tables.
