You're sitting in front of your database, we're not! If you want us to help
you'll have to do a much better job of telling us about your form!

Is there code in the Form_Open or Form_Load events of your form? If so, copy
and paste it here.

Is your form bound or unbound? If bound, what is the RecordSource, a table or
a query? If a query, how many tables are involved?

How many subforms do you have? What is the source of their data, Value Lists
or Tables/Queries?

There are a number of possible reasons, but it is next to impossible for
anyone to pinpoint a reason with such a general question. It can be related
to your network, your overall db setup, the complexity of your form &
subforms, your code behind your form,...

What I would suggest is start by reading and implementing the information
and suggestions found at: http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm

I can't remember if it was in his list of tips (it most probably is) but do
make sure you have a persistent connection to your back-end.

i had to add that it happened when i openned my form in design mode. In
general, what could cause the problem i dessribed in design mode?. it locks
the control of the mosue and then releases it after a bit of time which can
take a few seconds.

What version of Access? I have found that Access 2007 takes longer to open
forms in design view than earlier versions.

Do you have the Perform Name Autocorrect option enabled or disabled? Name
Autocorrect takes extra time.
