Seagate has a good white paper on this very topic - there are some issues (especially with v7 and below), and Seagate offers some methods of scaling up.<br>Parallel Crystal is another product that is worth looking at for large volume use - it is a multi threaded print engine for Crystal Reports. V8 of Crystal Reports is now multithreaded, so I don't know how it compares to Parallel Crystal in performance. <p>Malcolm Wynden<br><a href=mailto:wynden@island.dot.net>wynden@island.dot.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
