    I am using Mac Ventura 13.5.2 with 40 GB of memory on a 2017 27″ iMac. When launching TF it takes several minutes to launch and often fails altogether, especially if I don’t right click on the icon and choose one of the three different databases I have. Is there any I can speed up launch and make it more reliable? One of the things I am considering is increasing the Memory to its maximum of 64 GB. Would this help?

    I forgot to mention that I leave TF open and in full screen mode to alleviate this problem, but have to quit and relaunch if restarting my computer

    Hi Ian,

    I would suggest first making a backup file of your database.

    Then, go to the Settings/Preferences window and select the Maintenance tab.

    Then click on the Compact Database button.

    Now quit and re-launch Tap Forms and see if the performance is any better.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Thanks for that Brendan. Launch is now almost instantaneous. I don’t recall using this before

    Ya, that can make a big difference if you’ve never done it on your document.
