Hello Drew,
I understand what you are saying, but I installed the LO 3.5.2 binary 
(RPM) packages from the LO website.  I repackaged them for Slackware, 
but that does not change the 1s and 0s, just unpacks the RPMs and 
re-packages the files into a Slackware package for installation.  
Therefore, if there is an installation problem, it seems to be in the LO 
packages.  Note that I am using the Report Builder bundled into LO, not 
the version from the extensions website.  I do believe the newest is 
1.2.1 rev 2, and the one in LO is still 1.0-something.  I have not tried 
to replace the bundled version with the 1.2 version.

I could live with 49 _"seconds"_.  However, it is taking 49 _minutes_ 
for my report.  My database is nothing special, just text and integer 
values.  Nine elements plus the key per record.  No graphics.  So, yes, 
this problem does sound unusual.  However, I have not been able to pin 
down the problem yet.  In the meantime, I am looking into using Calc to 
print my data.  It looks good and will do until I can get RB working.

BTW: The report is a simple text page header, Detail, and page footer, 
no graphics there either.  I do have the date and time fields in the 
header, but that shouldn't bring it down.  Actually, I do have some 
separator lines inserted at the bottom of the header and the bottom of 
each Detail line.  Page number at the bottom of the footer.  That's it.
Thanks for the help.
Girvin
