Mark,

>My reason for using API calls is that making calls to the ActiveX control is too slow. Is CreateObject different than placing the ActiveX control on the form? And if so, does it improve performance?

Yes, it is different: With the activex you'll experience some limitations (for e.g. you can't set the orientation of the report) The Ole server create with the CREATEOBJECT command is far more powerfull. See the developer helpf file in the CR directory.

I do not know if it is faster than the Activex. I do not experience performance problems with the activex. Are you sure that performance problems are not cause by the report itself ?

Walter,
