>OK, so speed is becoming a problem as the size of the data set increases. There are two places where things are really slow.

>1) The call to the UDF to update the page total cursor is the slowest part. The UDF is a prg that accepts the data for the fields as parameters and inserts them into the cursor--just 2 lines of code. Is there a faster way to do this? I've tried using Insert ... in the On Exit expression but apparently that's not allowed...

>2) I might not have noticed this one except for the previous issue but there are obviously 2 passes through the report. One pass goes to file but the other goes to the printer and is immediately deleted. Is there a way to eliminate the one to the printer? I thought there wouldn't be a second pass if _PageTotal wasn't being used. Perhaps I was mistaken.

A two pass run is only generated if _PageTotal is used somewhere on the FRX. The first pass is a dummy pass to calculate .. the second pass is the one that actually prints.
