Hi Chris,



Than you for reply! This window with tab control has composites on each showing results/averages of data entered in another window with identical tab control (contents different in each). This data entry with same tabs in tab control opens within 10 seconds. So it appears to me that the common denominator is contents of tabs. The results that has composites opens slow while the data entry tabs window that doesn't have composites opens quick.



So it looks like composite DWs is issue. Changing the selected printer before opening this window makes the difference between opening in over 3 minutes and 10 -30 seconds (there's a lot of calculations going on so this is very acceptable to users)...this workaround is hokey

Hi Dave ... Yes, each DW relies on the current "default" printer for the fonts needed to render the DWO in each DW Control or in the case of a composite, each parent window. In the end, what you see in the DW Control is a bitmap rendering of all the DWO's. However the font management used to render the DWO area can perform exponentially better or worse depending on the default printer. The best rendering performance would be from a local printer attached to an actual machine. The second best will be a network printer located on the same network segment.
