access thread: Combo box & forms calling

My project consists of a switch form and many other forms.
All forms are being called using combo box by selecting a name from a list
making a form visible.
When a form is called for the first time it take some time for it to
appear.
Does any one know if this is the best idea for this kind of project i.e.
using combo box to make form visible? Will I get any type of memory
problems at later stage?
Can any one help please?

I would not anticipate memory problems just from the use of a combo box to
select the name of a form to load, as opposed to having say, a pushbutton
for each form.
If you're doing things like loading every form in the app on startup and
just selectively making forms visible or invisible, then you may be unduly
burdening your users' systems. If you can give us more details on what
you're doing & why you're nervous about memory, we can likely advise you
better...

I allways use buttons in naviform. I think that is easy to do and easy to
use because users are used to it.
Just check that you're using wizard, make a butten and wizard askes what
you want it to do, step by step.
