To check the amount of conventional memory that is available on your workstation, go to a DOS prompt and type 'mem', and that will display the information about the memory on that machine. I can't advise how to create more memory, but I noticed that there was some information on the posting on PlusCommunity.com about this. As I said before, you need a minimum of 530K for the simplest of report, and up to 590K for very complex reports with lots of formulas and other fields.

As for links in your report, it all depends on which files are in your report. If you open your report in Quik Reports, then go to Edit Links and select Driver, which files are listed, and which one has an arrow next it? This would determine the main file that the report is based on. To make the report run as fast as possible, the most detailed file must be selected as the driver, such as OELINE or ARTRANS. The driving file determines the purpose of the report, so if it's purpose means that another file should be used, you may have to live with the slow compiling.

Also check the link mode, which should be one-to-one in about 98% of the reports. Lastly, large data sets will force reports to take longer to compile.

If you can print to the screen is less time than it takes to print to the printer, that means that something with the network setup is incorrect as far as feeding information to the printer, or another symptom similar to that. Should this be the case, I won't be able to advise how to fix this.
