Good morning,



I am targeting the application startup to try to speed things up in our remote location. All databases are in location A. Location B is connected by a dedicated T1 (1.5Mbs) line. I have worked on many data queries to speed up certain windows within the application, now it is time to look at the startup. It takes 3-5 seconds for the application to open in location A. In location B, the app takes 30 seconds or more. What can I do...what can I look at...to increase the speed of the opening main window?



Thanks!

Bill

I am not sure if the permissions are cached, my guess is that they are not.



Another idea is use a splash form which will do all the settings in the background letting the user know what is going on, then show up the main form when done. Trent posted a very easy to implement sample of such Splash Form in the forum a while ago, that sample project may give you some ideas to implement in your project.



Also using background process object in some key process speed up a lot of things, so if you have some sort of calculation process that you do before loading the main form, a background process can help you in that regard.



Please keep us posted.
