Hi Forum,

I was struggeling 3 days with a problem and want to share my solution - if someone is faced with the same problem.
I have WX Desktop app which is in the field for several years.
This Application prints invoices, most of our customers have about 20 - 30 invoice lines per invoice.
I have a new customer who has about 180 lines per invoice and the report was awefully slow ... it took up to 5 minutes to printout and causes the printer running into errors.
I was thinking about slow queries but I did not found the issues - all queries where fine, the indexes where fine and so on.
The profiles did not give me a helpful output.
The I discovered the problem:
I put a background image into the report (containing the customers letter). Removing this background image solved the issue - the report is running quick now.
I am not sure - but I assume that the windev report editor loads the report every record.

Mybe this helps someone.

Regards

Stefan.

Hello

Yes I had those problems with images on reports. Disable images or if they must be there then put them in html format
