I apologise if this is the wrong forum and maybe someone can direct me to the correct one.

I am opening a Crystal report in Abobe Acrobat from a web page and getting the data form SQL Server tables using ODBC and File DSN. Once I have run the report - and it works fine, my pc grinds to a halt and is soooo slooow I have to reboot it and actually switch the power off. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

is the query slow? how long does it take in QA?
look in task manager to see how much memory does Adobe uses.
maybe it uses it all and your pc needs to write it to a file...
maybe give us more info.

My pc has a bug creating the file DSN. A colleague created one on her pc and mailed it to me and this works ok for speed. I now have a second problem ! If I change the source database in the ODBC ( I have a live and test database) and I go into my Crystal report and chnge the database location it still looks at the original database. I have to logoff the server and then update to the new one. However, I think this is a query for a Crystal Forum and not for here.
