I cannot help you with your problem, but wanted to comment on your
statement that you find the performance of the forms reasonable. We are
also using Forms 4.5 and find their performance unacceptably slow
(particularly the Order Entry module). Our company is spending valuable
time analyzing our network, our clients, and the individual packets as
they dance back and forth to the server via TCP/IP, but not uncovering
any reasons on why certain forms take 44 seconds to open on a Pentium
133 with 24 MB of RAM and Windows95.
If anyone has any tips on improving client-side performance, I would
enjoy hearing about them!
