Verion 8.5 runs faster than version 10

[CJSilver]

I have been using Crystal reports version 8.5 to create all my reports in. I also have version 10 that I was planning on converting all my reports over to. But I am having a problem with the difference in how long it takes version 10 to run some reports when compared to version 8.5. I have a report that has 2 SQL tables, linked by ODBC, and one Access table where Crystal is just pointed to the Access file instead of using ODBC. When I run the report in CR 8.5 it takes around 3 minutes to process, when I run the same report in CR 10 it takes almost 20 minutes! Can smoeone tell me why? Any suggestions on how I can speed this up?

The latest monthly hotfix for Crystal 9 solved a speed problem in running Crystal 8.5 reports. The difference can indeed be dramatic. I don't remember if the same problem/fix exists for Crystal 10 as well, but I strongly suspect it does.

Bottom line: download and install the latest hotfix for Crystal 10.
