I made quick changes to my program to have all my data in one temp table and variables preset. Changed my report to have a break on the CustID with a page feed. I then printed an 1820-page PDF file. I did it in both 7.5 and 7.6.
Compression ON: 4.1 MB (same 7.5 and 7.6) Compression OFF: 19.4 MB (7.5) and 18.5 MB (7.6) All the files look okay. Took 2.5 minutes to run, all versions, all compressions. I was surprised that when I did not specify any compression options, it ran with compression on. I would have thought that OFF was the default; not sure then why you would set it to OFF. The only glitch I had was in 7.6. I tested the 7.5 report first. Then in 7.6 I brought up the 7.5 report, made a simple change so I could save another version in 7.6 and run that one. Ran it to the PDF once, ran just fine. Changed my compression parameter in the Print statement and ran it again and I got some error about my report definition, even though I hadn't gone back into the report (wish I had kept the error message...). I couldn't bring the report up again in the designer; unloaded and upload the database, reboot, still can't get into the designer. Brought up the 7.5 version again, made another 7.6 version of the report and ran it 4 times without a problem. Paul might test for me printing 1820 pages of individual reports. He has a network laser with an intermittent streaking problem that he needs to test -- so he offered his services! Karen
