The trick you applied to the listview the other day should solve everything.
Have all your bound controls open a 1 record dataset (single table view), then in the onclick event of the tab control, reset the single table view to the desired query. It is the same process as mapping a dataset to a TreeView control when there are many thousands of rows of data, you only load the Root and the first level nodes, then in the onclick event of the node, populate the subitems.
Having said that, you don't have to employ it on every dataset in the form. Just enough to make the form perform to your satisfaction.

Load time from a local database is reasonable. Load time from a networked database (1G network) is a lot slower. We have tried the form compressed and uncompressed, not much difference. Anyone know any nifty tricks to make the form come up faster? Thanks, Dennis McGrath
