Calculated boxes slow to draw??

[NZArchie]

Has anyone else noticed that calculated text boxes don't draw immediately in 2007 reports? I have fairly simple calculations in my boxes, and they show as soon as I click on where they should be, but don't show automatically.

Is there a workaround for this? It's just a little annoying thing

Thanks in advance,

Archie

I haven't noticed that. Have you tried recreating your report?

I've copied the text boxes into a blank new form if that's what you mean? It's just annoying that when I go into layout view, I can't see any fields, unless I go into Report view and click on them all individually.

Would it be an issue that I have all these calculations in either the report header or footer? (The detail section is nothing)

If your textboxes were corrupt for some strange reason, then copying it over won't do you any good. Try recreating it all and see what happens.

Give me some examples of the calculations? Or you can upload your db and I'll have a look.

Use FIELDS for calculations (preferably in the underlying query) instead of trying to refer to controls for calculations. Referring to controls for calculations will slow things down quite a lot.
