Yeah. Same here. Run the query as a view or SP server side and pull only the results into a temp local table and then do your thang from there. Remove temp data when finished.

I have always use a SP to gather the report info, downloaded the data to a local dummy table and printed locally. This process can reduce report start times from 30 minutes plus to a couple of seconds. Check out the ancient solution: http://www.databaseadvisors.com/newsletters/newsletter112003/0311UnboundReports.asp Not all of the sample is necessary just the core code of around a 50 to 60 line solution.

I downloaded and installed Access 2010 Runtime this morning. I have run a number of small tests and so far everything works nicely. However, all of the reports seem to run MUCH longer than before (about twice as long). Example - Old Server - Access 2007 Runtime - Report800 - 14 Minutes New Server - Access 2010 Runtime - Report800 - 31 Minutes I sort of remember earlier posts here on AccessD regarding excessive run times. It seems like someone suggested possible "printer issues", but I can't remember for sure. Any ideas on these extended run times would be most appreciated.

Although be careful with 2013. Many client DB features were removed. A2010 is the last full featured version of Access for client(desktop) DB's. There was a bug in JET/ACE in relation to multi-core processors running under 64 bit OS's. Not sure when it was fixed. Microsoft was pretty mum about it (it's never been documented to my knowledge). 2010 should certainly have the fix, but A2007 may not. It was discovered when Windows Server 2008 R2 was released.

This scheduled application runs every night in an unattended mode. It pulls data from a SQL Server database and generates several reports (PDF) that are automatically e-mailed to select employees. We are now migrating to new server hardware which will be running Windows Server 2012 R2. Will an Access 2007 (Runtime) application work properly under Windows Server 2012 R2? Would it be better to use Access 2010 Runtime?
