Hi All I think that I found out part of the reason for my problem.
I thought that I had the modal pop up screen hooked up to the browse screen, but in fact did not. So instead LS was automatically generating a data screen at run time Now it takes 2.5 seconds to show the modal pop up. Better - but still too slow Kirsten _____ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Kirsten Greed Sent: Wednesday, 3 August 2011 7:20 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: Lightswitch - really clever - really slow Hi Ian, Bill, Peter n All I found the post you mention and opened the end project of the lab ( actually I should have just done that in the first place ) The app runs at an acceptable speed - but then it has no existing data and the entry forms have only a few fields!

He refers to a Configuration Wizard in the Training Kit. That must be run first, apparently. However, that forum chat was a year ago and the RTM may be quite different. I haven't installed and played with LightSwitch (enough problems with JSON data to keep me perplexed, yet again). ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Peter Maddin Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 3:34 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: Lightswitch - really clever - really slow Have you thought of using the LightSwitch forum to post questions http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/lightswitch/threads >> I am wondering if my speed issues are to do with still being on Windows XP XP does support LightSwitch. From the forum here are the minimum system requirements: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lightswitch/thread/cc71cb2c-73 9a-4d96-be49-af2e742073db Under LS Minimum Requirements System requirements Supported Operating Systems: .Windows XP Service Pack 2 or above .Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or above .Windows Server 2003 R2 or above .Windows Vista .Windows Server 2008 .Windows 7 Supported Architectures .x86 .x64 (WOW) Hardware Requirements .Computer with a 1.6GHz or faster processor .1024 MB RAM (1.5 GB if running in a virtual machine) .3 GB of available hard-disk space .5400 RPM hard drive .DirectX 9 capable video card running at 1024 x 768 or higher-resolution display I first thought LightSwitch was a dressed up version of Access but at the first presentation I attended I found that reporting was either weak or missing. This was one of Access's stronger points. If you do go on the forum, can you please keep us (or least me) up to date with your findings.
