Upon reconsideration, you're probably right, Larry. I should keep my brain away from the keyboard after a certain hour.

PROJECTing or SELECTing the data is fast, it's only when used in the report that it's slow. To me, that means one of two thing: 1. A problem with code or an expression in the report that either is missing an index, or is being evaluated too often, or something like that. 2. Something inherent in simply loading the report format. I'm wondering if perhaps something has happened to the #4 file to make it much slower to simply retrieve the report definition. If so, an UNLOAD ALL and rebuild of the database may be necessary to recreate the #4 file from scratch. -- Larry
