Hi,

I have an Outlook FormRegion (Seperate window for MailItems) that is very
slow on the first use, often temporarily causing a "not responding" state as
the form is populated from the backend db.

Is there is a method or something I can call on the add-ins startup to "warm
up" the form ahead of time?

The calls to the db are as optimised as they can be.

Regards,
Derick

You can try pre-fetching data from your database I suppose.

Is it slow only for the first form region being displayed or for each one as
it's being loaded with data?

If it's only for the first form then are you using .NET code and could it be
related to the CLR starting up? Is this related to an addin starting up?
