I've opened Reports and Forms in the past like a DBF as you mentioned below. I didn't know - though - that the Form could fill w/Fluff after Multiple revisions.
Now - I figured I would see a lot of Deleted records if I did this - and therefore the reason to run the Pack command. But, alas - I didn't find any of them - and there were only 118 records. I ran the Pack - and no difference. I opened the Form - and still - no difference - still slow in opening... :-( -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Malcolm Greene Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 3:29 PM Kurt, > And - FYI - its also Slow when trying to open the Form to do editing. ***Being mindful to make a backup of your scx/sct files first***, you can open a form and pack it (eg. forms are stored in a dbf file format) use <form>.scx pack use If you making lots of changes to a form, you might be surprised to see how much cruft builds up in your form files. Our build process used to read our project file (table) contents and perform this step on all forms within our project. We did a similar thing with report files including running some additional cleanup steps related to certain report specific records (can't remember the details).
