Re: SQR-USERS Digest - 7 Jul 1998 to 8 Jul 1998

Brian,

You should direct this question to PS-USERS (find out how to get on at
www.ps-users.com).  As it happens, I have been finding out a lot about
nVision recently.  Mainly, nVision is not meant to be used for a lot
of data (neither is Crystal).  Generally, anything more than 2000 rows
will bog down both products.  You should get your functional people to
think seriously about how how they want to use these reports ... I
wouldn't be surprised if they were planning on further summarising and
breaking down the data anyway !  They may find it easier to set these
up as a number of reports (say, by period,or by business unit / setid)
or have Query pre-summarise for them.
