Hi, I am starting to work with huge databases. While creating the report I don't need Crystal to pull all the records in the table (for speed sake). I need to know how to limit the amount of records it pulls into the report. Is there somewhere I can limit the amount of records it pulls down? Then when I am confident that the report is the way I want it, I can change it back to pull all records? Thank you, Pam
 
I'd suggest using a record selection criteria which limits rows based on a date as in the following example

From 'Report', select 'Edit Selection Formula', and then select 'Record'.

{MyTable.MyDate} > currentdate-7

to get the last weeks worth of data.
