Mike, I'm told time and again about eye candy. I'm suggesting a test to see if the speed is due to the eye candy. Explain the full structure of the form this is on. Is the ctGrid object on a page in a pageframe, in a container, are other ActiveX controls on the form, is there other code associated in events of the ctGrid that might be redrawing the control as it is getting loaded? >From what I've seen the IDE handles memory and UI things a little differently than the IDE. Open the Debug window, then launch the form on the Windows 7. You'll probably see it crawl and take over 2 minutes.
