Hi,

I think this is quite a simple one:

I have a ComboBox, where the source is a stored query. When I click the
drop-down arrow on the Box, it takes awhile. I want to run this query
in the background when the form opens, so that when I click the
dropdown, it is ready.

How?

Thanks, really appreciate it.

J

re: ComboBox source query: run at Form_Open


As far as I know, what you propose will not speed up your combo box at all,
and in fact will slow your overall operation, because the ComboBox will run
its Row Source query when it is initialized, whether or not that query has
already been executed.
