slow form rendering when using Access 2007

Hi!

I'm using a custom form in an mdb database with about 120 controls on it.
There's no problem with it when using Access 2003, but when trying to open it
with 2007 it slows down that much that working is really impossible. When
selecting a button it needs several seconds just for the animation - and
minutes for the few lines of code.

Any ideas?

thank you in advance!

I might have had the same problem - when tabbing through a couple
forms in a program - extremely sluggish graphic rendering. I tried
many many things, and it finally turned out that Can Grow and Can
Shrink (in the form's Detail band) must both be set to No for
acceptable display performance.

BTW was this in A2007 or earlier?

My Access performance page has been updated with this information
along with your obfuscation email address.

Now isn't that interesting. And those properties only work on
reports anyhow.

Thanks very much for posting.

Just wanted to let you know that your tip about the Can Grow and Can Shrink
properties in Access 2007 was dead accurate. I would have never thought in a
million years that had anything to do with my problem of slow gui response to
input etc. My Access Data Project was unusable before I set these properties
in the Form Detail section to No. I even called support and applied the April
2007 hotfix that seemed to address the issue, which seemed to help a little.
THANK YOU!
