Startup speed of .exe

[mitzigray]

The startup time for my exe is from 20 seconds to 45 seconds after the icon is clicked. Does you have any ideas on what could be causing this? The application file is stored on the network server with approxiamately 15 users accessing it. The program is connected to an Access database. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Try using Me.Show to show your application right away. Maybe that'll work. My webbrowser was doing something similar, it kept freezing right at the beginning so no form would show for a while, but I forgot that I wasn't going to a certain page. I used Webbrowser1.Navigate "about:blank" along with Me.Show and it works fine now.

What does the form_Load of your startup form all do or what code does it all have in it?
