My lawyers have informed me that you certainly may. ;-) You will find a demo on my web site. I haven't looked at it recently. John W. Colby www.colbyconsulting.com -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin - Beach Access Software Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2003 11:31 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] CC J-I-T Forms John: Big THANK YOU for the JIT. I have a form with a tab control with three subforms. The client has the BE on a server and their network isn't super fast. It was taking about 11 seconds to open the form. I haven't tried it there yet but on my box it would appear that the form now opens in 1/2 to 1/3 the time. I'd like to show this at the next AUGSD meeting for my Coder's Corner presentation if you have no objections. With attribution, of course.
