Api location 1

[cainemart]

If I have an api that is used by a few different forms, should I put it in a global module or in each form. Will it run faster if placed in each form because because it won't have to access the global module is what I trying to ask I guess.

Thanks

Make the api global. Placing it in each form does not cause it to run faster but definitely causes it to be a maintenance issue. -------------------------------------

Ok I just didn't know if it would take longer because the global module would have to load. Thanks for your reply.

Loading a global module with a few references would probably take a fraction of a millisecond. If you have performance specifications that are that rigid you would need to to benchmarks against every function you use. Just using an inefficient function or method would make a bigger difference. Most generally databases will not have performance requirements. -------------------------------------
