Hello, all,

I am designing a database on a networked computer at work. When I am
switching between design mode and edit mode in a form or table, I get the
hourglass for up to a minute sometimes. Is there anything I can do to
minimize the time it takes to switch?

TIA

Two things:

1# try opening a table, and then just minimize the table. You will find the
delay now goes away. This can be any table...not the necessary the one that
belongs to the form you are editing.


#2, My guess here is that you are developing with a spelt database (this is
good!).

Since you likely are developing with a split database..then simply copy the
back end data file to YOUR computer. Now, link the tables to the "copy" of
the data. You should not be developing on the production version anyway!
Now, you are free to develop this next great version (or just a small
update) to your software. When you are done, you simply re-link the tables
back to the production version, and then distribute your "new" updateed mde
to each workstation.
