Active X controls cause long load time
I have created a very simple template in Word that uses the active X control
toolbox forms text as well as combo and option buttons. There are about 90+ on the template which equates approximately 250K in size; 5,500 characters. I am using Word 2002? On a windows 2000 OS. My issue is that the loading of a form field template is almost immediate and yet the template using the control toolbox takes about 7-10 seconds? There is no VBA coding other than at the new and open I added the data for the combo box. The reason I want to use the control tollbox is due to our need to keep the users from using the return key. Unless there is a way to not have the form (using form fields) return to the next line thus expanding the form incorectly I am using the properties (autotab to true, Word wrap to false and enterkeybehavior to false). This seems to fix my return issue and forces teh user to use the tab key as I want them to. But now if I send this to our customers (Credit application template) they will certainly complain of the long load time. Although less than 10 seconds it is an amount of time that should not exist. Any suggestions would be great. |
