Hello, sorry for the broad title...

I've created/manage a moderately-sized database (40 tables, 60 forms, or close to it) and I've run into two scenarios things that I'm not sure is the most ideal approach.

Is there a difference from a performance perspective to keep the a singular, active form open or having multiple forms open? In a typical day my users would have up to four forms open at once, but only interacting with one at a time. Would they notice a performance increase by only keeping one active form open at a time?

Next question. What approach would the general community use to run code after the from has loaded and displayed itself on the screen? The On_Load event runs code during load, but not before the form is displayed. What I've been doing is putting code in the Timer event and setting the Timer Interval to 0 at the end of my code. Is there a more ideal way to do this?

TIA
 
Personally unless the form (opened from the orginated form) is going to returned to after entering data I would close it not just because of performance but why keep it open? You may want to enter subset data then refresh/requery a "main" form after closing but anything else is just something the user has to remember to close...
