V4RB Performance on Windows

[alvin]

I run V4RB on a Windows XP machine with approx 25 tables, loads of fields.
One screen holds approx. 40 fields alone with pull-down lists, calculated
fields and more. The windows version loads considerably faster than both my
Mac OS 9 machine and my husband's OS X machine.
