I have finally finished a standalone database requested by client. Client states that database is fine but it is loading too slow. I have cleaned up the code and configured it to run as fast as possible but yet the database still takes too much time loading. I was wondering if one could configure the standalone app to run in the background. then when it was called by the user it would not have to load from the beginning thus saving time.

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I see where my error was

It doesn't work............... I created a new field just like you said and it doesn't return results..............

I am sorry I don't get it

Thanks Ender! I tried your solution and I can't get it to work probably because I am not inputting it the right way...... I have tried and tried for the last 3 days with this thing and I can't figure it out. Could someone please help me out I would really appreciate the help I have uploaded the database here: http://www.smartdustlab.com/help.zip You have to hold the shift button when opening account= admin pass= help

I have a field "VIN" that contains "*&*" and "*" types of data. say if I do a search for "1GC&G39R" it will show up...great but if I do a search for "1GC5G39R" it will not find anything. How can I tell the database to look for both types and just display the relevant variables i.e "1GC&G39R" and not all those records which have an "&" in them. without reinputting the data myself thanks

Thanks for the tip but I have tried and tried but have been unsuccessful with using the code to get it to work. Could someone please help? I have attached a sample of the database. You have to hold the shift button when opening it and when the password comes up it's Admin thanks data.zip

I have slow load times on my exe. The total size of the standalone is 30mb. Customer is complaining it takes 15 seconds to load. What are the basic ways of reducing load times? I have taken out all the extra language packs...that's all I know as of now thanks

I have a search that ask you to put in a vin# if I put in the right number then the search performs nicely. Some of my database entries contain an "&" in their field. When someone enters the vin# they don't normally input that "&" into their find. So if they do a find without the "&" then the find returns a no match. What I am asking is their someway to make the find look for the exact match and if it can't find it then do a search for the vin# containing the "&" character? The "&" is always located as the fourth entry in the data I.E 5GZ&Z43D
