Crystal Reports: long delay to open

[nj609eagle]

Recently and without warning, a report that I was using in my VB.NET
2003 application started to take 10 minutes to load.

It also take thisamount of time to open in the deisgner. I'm using a
ADO.NET XML file as the datasource, so there is no network traffic.
Loking at the task manager, my CPU is low, and the memory isn't
changing.

I have two laptops and anyone off my network can open this report up
without the long delay.

I have tried to save it as a new name, make a change to the report and
re-save it from both the computers that open it with and without the
delay.

We have turned off all Anti-virus services, MS indexing services, and
anything else that might cause the computer to have a delay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sometimes they get corrupted. Is the report the other users are opening the
same physical class that you are opening. Suggest you recreate with new name
and test.

Yes, same physical file will open normally on some but not others.

The network admin, has not pushed out any windows or other updates on
or about the time this started failing.

One the 'Some' which open normally, it this consistent each time. IE can you
repeat this operation say twenty times ?

Are you running routed network subnets, and are the working ones on another
subnet ? if so perhaps you are having routing issues.

Finally if you have made no changes, and things have started to go wrong for
some of you it is highly likely that there is something else afoot besides
the report.
