Bloated / Slow global.mpt

[Mike Kleiman]

It takes far too long for my projects to open - approx 30 seconds. It takes
the same amount of time regardless of whether the project file is brand new
or old and large.

I decided to pull an old version of my global.mpt from sourcesafe and all
the project files open quickly. Figuring it was some sloppy code in the bad
global, I piece-by-piece removed all forms and code but the project files
still took 30 seconds and I noticed the size of the global didn't change. My
thought now is that the response time is due to global.mpt bloat. The bad
version is 1.8k and the good version is 1.5k.

I'd love to gain some insights into this situation and the remedy.

Thanks

I'd suspect a small corruption in the Global. Use the Organizer to copy all
items you still want from the old organizer to a blank project. Save this
project as a backup. Use Organizer to copy the same items to the new Global.
