jenniferspnc,

Is the below query what the Parent form is based on?

SELECT Opportunity.Opportunity_ID, Opportunity.Date_Today,
Opportunity.Business_Segement, Opportunity.Source, Opportunity.[Opportunity
Details], Opportunity.Status, Opportunity.Opportunity_Value, Opportunity.GP,
Opportunity.Timeframe_Months, Opportunity.Client_ID,
Opportunity.Approval_ID,
Opportunity.Client_Type, Opportunity.AM_ID, Opportunity.[Additional Notes]
FROM Opportunity;

ANd I could have missed it but I didn't see where you mentioned what version
of Access...

Thanks everyone for the posts. I'll try to answer all the questions here.

It is over a LAN and the form is bound to a query.

I put the BE two folders down (the closest I can get) and the name is short
(Oppt_be). Each user has their own FE installed on their desktop. Yes, I
do
compact and repair often.

Using Access 2007
Yes I actually thought of it and did take off one subform at a time trying
to isolate the "problem."
Removing all subforms gets the form to load in about 15 seconds. But
removing only one at a time may only save me like 5 seconds (so with 3
that's
about 15 seconds).

Not sure if it is server related but this afternoon it was only taking 30
seconds to load vs this morning 40 seconds, and I hadn't made any changes to
the original.

If it's not my database I'm not sure what to tell my co-workers and boss for
a solution. But it's taking too much time to enter information.

Thanks for the FREE advice. Truly helps me learn instead of having someone
else do it for me.

Is your form bound directly to the table, or to a query? And to how many
rows?

Okay I'm back again, with the same problem, and at a loss. This is my
2nd
database, and same brick wall! The loading of my form takes upwards of
40
seconds to load. I've gone through steps offered at previous posts
(http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm).

I even downloaded a template database (sales pipeline) from Microsoft
and
once split it slowed down dramatically as well...takes a solid minute to
load
their form. Could that suggest that my database design is solely not
the
problem and perhaps the network doesn't help?

Details of my database: My form pulls off a query (query takes about 10
seconds for 20 records), SQL is
SELECT Opportunity.Opportunity_ID, Opportunity.Date_Today,
Opportunity.Business_Segement, Opportunity.Source,
Opportunity.[Opportunity
Details], Opportunity.Status, Opportunity.Opportunity_Value,
Opportunity.GP,
Opportunity.Timeframe_Months, Opportunity.Client_ID,
Opportunity.Approval_ID,
Opportunity.Client_Type, Opportunity.AM_ID, Opportunity.[Additional
Notes]
FROM Opportunity;

I have 3 subforms but those seem to load fairly quickly when run
individually (3-5 seconds).


I've read, "Delete the SQL from the RecordSource and RowSource
properties
of
the form, subforms, comboboxes and listboxes. Now in the Form_Load event
load
the appropriate SQL." I have three combo boxes, details to follow
below.
This may be the important piece I am missing only because I am confused
on
how to go about. If this is the culprit of my design could someone
please
help me with what the appropriate SQL that should be loaded on the Event
page?

Combo Box Details:
Client: Control Source Client_ID/Row Source Client_Name/Row Source Type
Table/Query

Manager: Control Source AM_ID/Row Source SELECT [Account_Managers
Query].[AM_ID], [Account_Managers Query].[Account_Manager_Name] FROM
[Account_Managers Query] ORDER BY [Account_Manager_Name];/Row Source
Type
Table/Query

Segment: Control Source Business_Segment/Row Source
"Corp";"Mid";"Other"/Row Source Type Value List

Please help. I hear grunts when people have to enter data into this
database.

Thanks!
