I am running Crystal reports 2008 on my windows xp computer. We are pulling the data from a SAWS server running linux. Most of my reports run faily fast, but a new report is taking hours and i know its not frozen. Is there anyway to speed up the calculations. I saw an option stating to do the grouping on the server and then my coworker said if i am using formulas that those are not done by the server by my PC. So if my PC isnt blazing fast is this affecting my reports??

Hi may be your report is fetching detail data. Try to sumarize at command level. Now even if you are using formulas it will not much effect the performance coz formulas are performed on the data at report level. So it is suggested to summarize at server and fetch less number of record in the report.
