you can create a thread in code using &nbsp; System.Threading.Thread and have it fired at start up or on the push of a button.<br />
<br />
A great idea to not make the user wait but if if your only talking about a couple hundred records i would be more concerned on what is delaying their load. &nbsp;A couple of hundred should load in a heart beat. <br />
