Come on Steve! Does it never end. People come here for free help, not a

If you have constructive advice to give on how they can try to resolve their
given problem, then give it. Otherwise, just don't answer.

Hello Jennifer,

I provide help with Access, Excel and Word applications for a very nominal
fee. I would like to offer to take a look at your database and see what is
needed to fix it. If it can be fixed, my fee would be very modest. There
would be no charge if it can not be fixed. Give me a chance to try to get it
downto couple of seconds. Contact me.

Okay I'm back again, with the same problem, and at a loss. This is my 2nd
database, and same brick wall! The loading of my form takes upwards of 40
seconds to load. I've gone through steps offered at previous posts
(http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm).

I even downloaded a template database (sales pipeline) from Microsoft and
once split it slowed down dramatically as well...takes a solid minute to
load
their form. Could that suggest that my database design is solely not the
problem and perhaps the network doesn't help?

Details of my database: My form pulls off a query (query takes about 10
seconds for 20 records), SQL is
SELECT Opportunity.Opportunity_ID, Opportunity.Date_Today,
Opportunity.Business_Segement, Opportunity.Source,
Opportunity.[Opportunity
Details], Opportunity.Status, Opportunity.Opportunity_Value,
Opportunity.GP,
Opportunity.Timeframe_Months, Opportunity.Client_ID,
Opportunity.Approval_ID,
Opportunity.Client_Type, Opportunity.AM_ID, Opportunity.[Additional Notes]
FROM Opportunity;

I have 3 subforms but those seem to load fairly quickly when run
individually (3-5 seconds).


I've read, "Delete the SQL from the RecordSource and RowSource properties
of
the form, subforms, comboboxes and listboxes. Now in the Form_Load event
load
the appropriate SQL." I have three combo boxes, details to follow below.
This may be the important piece I am missing only because I am confused on
how to go about. If this is the culprit of my design could someone please
help me with what the appropriate SQL that should be loaded on the Event
page?

Combo Box Details:
Client: Control Source Client_ID/Row Source Client_Name/Row Source Type
Table/Query

Manager: Control Source AM_ID/Row Source SELECT [Account_Managers
Query].[AM_ID], [Account_Managers Query].[Account_Manager_Name] FROM
[Account_Managers Query] ORDER BY [Account_Manager_Name];/Row Source Type
Table/Query

Segment: Control Source Business_Segment/Row Source
"Corp";"Mid";"Other"/Row Source Type Value List

Please help. I hear grunts when people have to enter data into this
database.

Thanks!
