Dear List Has anyone had any experience of speeding up slow opening workspaces? I have some workspaces that open really slowly (takes several minutes), while other almost identical ones open fast (eg 20 seconds). This is VERY frustrating for users. I examined what the workspaces were doing by putting 'Note' commands between each workspace line to pause the workspace after each command. It seems that the slow part is the 'Map From' command. The 'Map From' command draws all the data sets in the window before the 'Set Map' command repositions the map view coordinates and zoom level. In the slow opening workspaces I tested the scale of the intial map was much smaller (zoomed out to cover a wide region), and so took a long time to draw especially with large data sets such as the OS Landline. For some reason the faster workspaces created an initial map covering a much smaller area and so took much less time to draw. So I guess the question is - how can I control the scale of the initial map created in 'Map From' so that this bit can be opened really zoomed in? It does not seem to matter which data layer is first in the 'Map From' command, and I cannot add data layers to the map after opening as these workspaces are also used in ProViewer Any help greatly appreciated.
