>>This is something you must live with, since RB 90 uses GDI+. Normally you must make some of the fields wider and/or use smaller fonts. Unless you have many reports, the fix shouldn't take that long. I suggest that you do the conversion, and stick to RB 90 in the future.

Hi Jeff,

your speed comparsion is a no realy true.

RB80 renders one page at a time, then previews / send to printer.
RB90 renders all pages to memory and previews / print from that.

Asume a repo with some calculations, pagenumber, several then pages

For the first page RB 90 is a pain.
+Now we go to the last page
-RB90 is there on an instant
-RB80 starts to render through all pages (ok, it omehow needs to go there)

+now one page back
-RB90 just switches
-RB80 starts calculating the whole thing again

+now print
-RB90 just sends the data from memory
-RB80 ... guess?

RB90+:
-much better preview, multipages etc
-I could not stand w/o listneres
--rotaing labels / fields (I do not use labels, multi lang stuff needs changable headers) / lines
--scaling images (not stored to table)
--drawing barcodes
--backcolor dynamicaly adjustable by table (even better then the build in what is static)
