Dana-

If you search the history you will find i had a question very similiar to yours. The responses were generally the same as well. Here is what I guess is your situation:

- some of your reports print fine, others are slow
- you've change reportbehavior from 90, 80, etc. and haven't had any change

I am not sure what your report is but what i noticed about my reports that were printing slow is they all had ONE or more fields that met the following criteria:

1. The field stretches with overflow
2. the field is actually a function that formats data into multi lines (i.e. places some data on one line + CHR(13) + more data + CHR(13)+ etc.). Basically this was the "trick" to doing multi-band reports the old way.

Every other report that did not have a field doing this printed like a charm. The only way around it is to somehow get rid of these fields....something i've done in a couple cases but not in others.

If this is what you are experiencing...welcome to the club. You basically have to get rid of those fields and the problem will go away.

Good Luck-

Geoff
