is it bound to a complex query? ... I see this in reports sometimes.
If not a complex query, or if it really needs to be the way it is and you have not done a /decompile in a long time ... you should. The easiest wayu (for me) is to first make a copy of you app incase something goes horribly wrong (never has yest for me but you never know). then from Start --> run tyoe msaccess /decompile. Now open your Access dfatabase from inside that Access session and immediatley do a repair / compact. Now open any code window and Debug --> compile.

No idea, but it would greatly help if you could describe for us in detail what is in this form.
(1) Any non-standard controls?
(2) Any linked OLE Objects / Images?
(3) Is there a lot of code in the form Open, Load, or Current events?
(4) How many controls?
(5) Is the form's RecordSource a query that is a crosstab query, so the query has to execute in order to get a field list?
