It could be that in the unbound state there is something 'waiting' that
times out eventually?
In any case, when I do similar things to this, rather than leave the
form as unbound initially, I set the recordsource to the main
recordsource but with a where clause that forces no records to be
returned (eg WHERE myIdentityField=0). This gives you an empty recordset
that has all the fields in it. This also eliminates the initial form
displaying #NAME# in the controls.
