Graphics File Format - Speed Up Form Open

[tpearo]

I have some forms in my database that I have used some colored jpg files to make the form look a little nicer. It seems that with the file used on the form, the form takes a long time to open. Is there anyway to speed up the opening of a form.

Do you have the image embedded in the form? Or do you call it from a field?

basic solution would be to put those files "closer" to your database, i.e. in the same directory, on your local hdd, NOT on the network... although the change in speed might not be that noticeable, depends on various factors...

but I suppose you could try to pre-load the images, it will take longer to start your database, but once started, the different forms should load quicker...
