Load time of forms with large drop-down lists

Yes.

I just now toggled View | Other Windows | Show Forms, and yes, display is much faster.

But that's ridiculous! Why would I want to create a custom form--which has some of the critical data I need to see--if it has to be disabled to navigate among records? I saw no "UR has a custom form feature, but please avoid using it because it's too slow" warning. My primary use of UR (a customer database) is now severely crippled.

I'll try removing the Auto-complete setting when I get time, to see if that helps--I'm guessing it will.

But I can't use the database ReadOnly...it has to be editable.

By the way, do you think it's possible to change UR in some way--an internal optimization or reorganization--that would allow it to be faster when using custom forms? Worth considering.
