Hi, The menu item freezes for a few seconds each time it is clicked on. It basically brings up another form i.e. form2. In form2 (load event) data is retrieved from a database. The menu in form1 freezes for a few seconds until form2 is displayed. Is it possible to avoid the menu to freeze? Thanks

The time is being taken up by the database retrieval. One way to get around this problem is to make the database retrieval run on a different thread to the load and then display the data in the main UI when it has finished. Have a look at BackgroundWorker to get an idea as to how this could work.
