Steve,

Even views with NODATAONLOAD can take a little time to load. VFP does a query on the backend which returns an empty cursor. You may want to take the views out of your data environment and only open them as you need them.

>I am wondering if anyone has any hints on speeding up form instantiation with SYBASE SQL Anywhere as an ODBC client. DBCLIENT is started prior to form instantiation. The form is taking about 12 seconds to appear with 3 tables being loaded with 500,20,20 records respectively. There are 12 other views that have NODATAONLOAD set to TRUE.
