You could also add a property commands
PROPERTY <Component ID> VISIBLE 'FALSE' SELECT Image INTO vImage1 FROM WHERE SELECT Image INTO vImage2 FROM WHERE SELECT Image INTO vImage3 FROM WHERE SELECT Image INTO vImage4 FROM WHERE SELECT Image INTO vImage5 FROM WHERE OR SET VAR vImage1 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage2 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage3 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage4 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage5 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... RECALC VARIABLES PROPERTY <Component ID> VISIBLE 'TRUE' Just give all the 5 variable image controls all the same name I have also noticed that themes on a slower computer can really slow things down you might try turning them off also Remember the goal "100% Attitude, Accuracy and Complete on Time Orders" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Johansen Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 12:46 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: A form in Rbase 7.6 loads slow and choppy Mike, Well the size of the image will definately affect how the form loads. But if you are saying that it looks like the images are trying to load more than once I would look to where they are defined. Is this a variable form or one tied to a table? If it is a form tied to a table I would get rid of assigning the images in form variables. Do this instead. In the form AFTER START eep do this SET VAR vImage1 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage2 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage3 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage4 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... SET VAR vImage5 VARBIT = Image WHERE .... RECALC VARIABLES This allows your form to load and then display the images. Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael J.

It has 5 variable image controls, (4 small, 1 large), a left button and a right button. When I run the form, it loads slowly and choppy....as if it were struggling to load. It appears that the pics that are being displayed are blinking or reloading, about 5 times each. This happens on a stand alone machine as well as when I try to run it over a network. What can I do to fix this? What kinds of things contribute to a form loading slowly and choppy? Mike
