Sometimes setting it ON (to override the internal optimizer) will have beneficial effect if you've built your query in the most efficient manner.

This is the order of which table holds the least to most amount of data. Does the column order matter in the view definition or is just the table order? It seems to have increase the speed in my test version. The test version though seemed to be about twice as fast as the production version before the change.

In your view definition, change the last line from: AND t2.PNo = t4.PNo AND t4.StfMbr = (.vUser) to: AND t2.PNo = t4.PNo AND (t4.StfMbr = .vUser) Your way, any index on StfMbr will not be used by R:BASE. With the parenthesis around the whole condition, the index will be used, and the variable will still not be interpreted at view creation, but only at access to the view. (I'm assuming that's why you parenthicated the variable -- because it was being saved in the view as "t4.StfMbr = 12345" if you used no parens.)

Can you share the structure of the table -- or the view and its component tables -- that the report is based on, and the PRINT statement?
