To further explain, I log into a program called forticlient which I have been told is the VPN. I then click on Remote Desktop Connection to get to my computer at the office. I use my password and I am in. That is the extent of my knowledge on the connection. I do use access but not much with forms. I still access 6.5 as well and never have it go slow like this.
Karen, I remember the discussion you related to. My other forms in 7.6 do not seem to be this slow from here. They also have some popups.

A much better solution for remote access for R:BASE is something like logmein.com, or gotomypc.com, or even remote desktop, although these tie up a computer at the other end.

That is why I asked because I thought it might be something in the settings or the form itself I need to change. Maybe I need to bring up just one field in that particular table since the second field is rather large. I will play with it some more.

VPNs and file-server database do not mix. Same would happen if you were using Access, Filemaker, any non-client-server database. Performance is bad because the entire database has to be sent back and forth over your IP connection. We've had this discussion a few times on this forum, the last time it was asked by me because one of my biggest clients complains that they simply cannot work from home over their company's VPN.

Karen I have an order form in the latest 7.6 that runs very slow when I try using it from my remote location at my house. Are there settings either on my computer or within RBASE that will help overcome this? It happens with my detail lines that have auto popup &EEP fields. Another POPUP on the header does not have this problem.
