reports vi or msaccess

[Bruno Berti]

I have troubles to print some data tables with lv reports vis in
Windows NT.
I have 1-D array of cluster (say 15000 elements) in a for-while loop,
from where, every time, I extract parts that I convert in a data
table, then I print it.
If I ask (with a button) every time the user to print that part, I
have no problems; if I permit to print all parts sequentially, after a
while LV crashes!
In every case the process is too slow.
If I print the same data with a report of msaccess the printing
process is extremely fast and without troubles.
Someone can help me to solve this?
Alternatively can someone tell me how can I run msaccess procedures
from within LV to use access as a report engine (in the same way LV
run excel macro in the examples vi)?

Thanks
in advance

It sounds possible that you're sending too much data to the printer at one time. Since it works when the user must click a button, that gives the application time to fulfill the most recent print execution. You could try placing a "Wait Until Next Millsecond" VI in your loop and give it just a little time to process each request. Let me know how it works out.

I thought so also, but it doesn't works. I put a Wait of 1 minute to
simulate user interaction without effect.
The trouble seems to be in the Append Text Table to Report.vi, but
this affects only the Standard Report (HTML report works fine - I'm
using Labview 6.0.2). It seems to me tha
t this vi suffers of some
limitation in the manipulation of data.
