    Hi Mark,

    How are you linking your datasets? If you are linking the querys directly,
    they will each have to be opened every time the master record changes. You
    could try using DataPipeline linking or DADE to speed things up. This will
    only open each query once during report generation. Check out the help on
    TppDataPipeline for information on datapipeline linking.

    I Use TADOQuery Components in My Query,

    All 4 Detail Querys is based TADOQuery (with DataSource property to the
    Master DataSource)

    Hi Mark,

    There is no way to pre-generate a report in ReportBuilder. There are a
    couple ways to speed up your data access as I described in my previous post.
    You could also generate your report to Archive first and then view it using
    the Report Archive Viewer which would take a lot less time to load and view
    but you would loose some previewing capabilities.
