Ive got a form with two combos (customer + stock code)

I have two datasets (approx 400 records in eachwhich I load up for the
customer list + products lists then bind to the combos..

Form startup its taking 30~35 seconds on a the PPC- is there any way of
having a "paged" combo or do I have to write one.

I cant see how this app is gonna work in the field with these slow response
times .. what sort of other methods are people using to handle large
datasets on form entry

Thx
 
you could try custom combo box which don't copy the data !
I have one available, coming with plenty of other thing so the size of the
lib might not please you

Hi!

Have you tried to hide the combo box before filling it and show it again if
filling has finished?

I have never tried for combo boxes, but for list boxes and list controls
hiding while filling it makes the filling a lot faster.

good luck
