OPTIMIZING A FORM?

I have a very busy input form that has about 6 graphical buttons and 6
embedded subforms.

The database backend is located on a local network; the front ends
will be on each user's C:\ drive.

It is taking a long, long time for this to load: I did go in and
reindex the tables, which speeded things up tremendously.

Is there anything else I can do to optimize performance? As of now,
in testing, when 2 users try to hit the input form at the same time,
Access dies for one of them.

Thanks!

If you can load (set) the subforms RecordSource just as you need them.
Have them empty when the form is opened.

Thanks for the kind comments. Makes the effort worthwhile.

I will soon be putting up a blog with an RSS showing any updates I make to the site
so as to help folks keep up with things.

You should talk. What about "My Silicon Tits 8785" and "Asian Teen Bondage

get a personal welcome message from somebody called Steel Doug. You're not
kidding anybody.

Hey, Don, better ease off -- whatever you're using is burning your brain.
It's _you_ that's not fooling anybody.

Oh, and that'd be "WhamBam" not "BipBam" if you could get your quotes right.

Don, a racist like yourself using dialect could get into real trouble with
the people who know you are demeaning them by doing so. Better keep a look
over your shoulder next time they haul you in.

R&B Master-- Don't let Larry bother you. He's been institutionalized for
years and he's not supposed to be posting in this newsgroup. He's got this
bogeyman complex where he's terrified of people he doesn't know or people
who're smarter than him. He's probably terrified of black people too for
all I know. Anyway thanks for straightening out that bip bam saying. I
always wondered where it came from. And BTW Larry ain't no bitch! That
would be David. Hahaha. Good one R&B Master!

Yep. Typical. Smart and helpful.

And he could do dialect a lot better than you can, Don. But, unlike you, he
doesn't have some inner need to offend anyone by doing so.
