Performance issues with .NET

Hello,

I have a report written in Crystal version 9 that uses a command to retrieve data from an access 2002 database. When I run this report from crystal it is really fast. It processes over 250 k records in 10 seconds. More importantly, I can page through the report quickly. Once the report loads, there is no time delay in paging through the report pages.

I wrote a vb 6 application that displays this same report and again paging through the report was very efficienct.

My problem is when I deploy this report through a .NET application, paging through the report is painfully slow. It's too slow to even use this as a viable application. My customers don't like to wait 30 seconds between pages. It essentially takes just as long to go from page 1 to page 2 as it does to load the report in the first place.

I really need a solution to speed up this report. Has anyone encountered this problem? What are my alternatives for speeding the paging through report pages?

Thanks so much for any assistance!
