>>>Hi All -
>>>
>>>Last Feb I acquired a new DELL box with the i7 chip and Win7 Pro. Everything is great (almost). It is fast in nearly every respect and with all software except generating VFP reports. Data access, queries, and the other aspects of VFP seem great but producing a report seems to take forever. Reports that used to just popup on my old box now require 20-30 seconds before they are visible. Has anyone else experienced this and /or is there a clue as to what's going on?

>>>Thanks

One other thing I thought of - could it be related to the printer driver? Do you have Printer's info saved with your reports? Can you create a generic text driver, set it as default printer and test?

As for how to test GDI+ - I may try to get the latest gdiplus.dll from the VFP install directory, place it in the same directory as my application and re-test.

Also, is preview slow in exe or in the development environment as well?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
