Slow report-loading after using Designer?

rbuser

(Seen with both RB 5 prof. and RB 6 Entp.)

How come loading reports (from database) slows down after having used the
Designer on anyone report?
At first it loads in 1 sec. After Designer it uses more than 10 secs!

(Running the app from Delphi or stand-alone)


I use:

ppDesigner.showmodal();

Could be that all of the Design Controls are getting created each time you
load.

As an experiment, try this:

ppDesigner1.Report := nil;

ppReport1.Template.LoadFromFile;

ppDesigner1.Report := ppReport1;

and see if the delay goes away...

That makes the difference.

I keep
ppDesigner.Report = nil

all the time and just before the user starts the Designer I do

ppDesigner.Report := myReport;
