    Speed Issues

    If you're running the system as a remote desktop (which I'm assuming your reference to RDP implies) have you tried simply running the system directly on the server? Does this exhibit the same slow time to load forms? If not, it would point the finger at the RDP setup. However, I don't have...

    Report with columns

    This has happened to me before - I believe it was down to the printer and margin setups. I have a PDF creator as a print driver (CutePDF) which, when I use that, creates 2 columns (when you view it in Adobe Acrobat viewer).
