When we run a crystal report (accessing a dat file from vdf 9.1) across a
Netware 6.5 server the process is so slow!
We aim to deploy over Citrix (Seamless Application) our in house VDF
Applications which in some instances trigger reports!
As a test we are merely running reports across the server which is severely
slow, as above. Is this due to a Novell issue with Crystal (were using
version 7 of crystal) or purley Crystal Version 7??

Help???
Thanks in advance!

Lee,

Crystal 7 is slow. Going from CR7 to CR8.5 gave us huge speed
improvements. There are many reports that we wrote which ran fast, but once
there was a lot of data, it would take a long time to run. After playing
with the linking within Crystal, the selection formula, and the group
formula we saw our reports go back to running in seconds.

We ran on a windows network with *.dat files.

I'm available for consulting on your reporting issues if you would like
some help in that area.
