Hello Srdjan,

SET REPORTBEHAVIOR is scoped to the entire project. You can set it to 80 once in your startup routines. All reports that do not have an object clause will run in the 80 mode. For the reports that you want to run in the 90 mode, just include the object clause on your REPORT FORM line. This way each report can be upgraded as needed/desired without much effort.

>>Thanks, Colin. We always remove printer information from the report. We've been doing that for years. I understand about paying a price. But this price seems to high. They've paid a lot of attention to speeding development, but it's not worth it at the cost of runtime sluggishness.

>>>In addition to what the others have said, make sure you are not saving the printer environment information with the report.

>>>VFP9 differs from VFP8 in that it referencs some newer printing DLLs in Windows (VFP8 uses some that were deprecated long ago!) and these have a tendency to hit the network looking for network printers when they really don't need to. Removing the printer driver information from the FRX can sometimes make a difference.

>>>As for new features vs speed, well, I think every programmer understands that you can't get something for nothing.
