Reduce load time for multi-tab form

D

Dave the Wave

I have a form that has 12 tabs (or 12 different subforms) which are
all continuous record format. It seems that the main form takes about
15 to 20 seconds on a 2+GHz machine with 1GB memory. I'm concerned
that this load time might double or triple on slower machines.

Are there any settings to prevent the hidden subforms from appearing
until they are called upon? OR, is the long load time something that I
will have to live with? In which case, would anyone recommend a
different method of obtaining the same result. (Presently, I am using
a combobox to determine which tabbed subform is made visible. I could
probably make all of the tabbed subforms separate subforms??? I am
almost done the project, so the benefit would have to be tremendous to
redesign how the subforms are made visible.)

Any comments are greatly appreciated!!!
