Slow startup

Is there a way to increase the startup time of the runtime version of
Access? We always clear the pagefiles at the end of the day, and it seems
that this is what is contributing to the delay. After you load Access after
the first time it does get better, but the first time in the morning is very
long.
 
There are a number of things that can contribute to poor
performance, Access notwithstanding. For example, the
Access application that starts might have large amounts
of graphics "embedded" in its forms and at the same time
your machine might be lacking in sufficient RAM for the
size of the application your starting.

Post back with some details about the Access application
you're starting, size, embedded images, etc.

I don't believe its memory - 2GB DDR 400

My opening(switchboard) form has one embedded picture. Our Company Logo.

How do you find the starting size?
The file size of the application is 593,000 KB.
Very Large Application I Know!
But for what I need it has to be.

This application is designed to handle a maintenance facility of unlimited
units/plants with a broad range of aspects.

I have been in the maintenance field for over 20 years now and I never
found an application that's worked like what I thought it should.
I always used several applications(7 to be exact) to manage this facility,
that made for allot of retyping. Anyhow, I made the statement that one day I
would develop my own and I did. I have been working on this application on
and off for over 2 years now, and I am reaching the end, for now that is.

Thanks for responding!
 
That is large alright.

A couple of things come to mind. First is to change the
image control in the switchboard to link to the image
of your company logo. Otherwise, all of the image
rendering code will be included in your file.

Second, if you haven't already split your database, in
my view, you should do that before anything else.
If you're not familiar with that, make it a priority to
get up to speed on the front-end and back-end
configuration concept. I can't imagine doing any
kind of maintenance without it.

Thats is the frontend.
The backend contains 12 tables that reside on a server that are linked to
the frontend.
Didnt think about linking to the image, I might try that.
