hi Issac, 
        actually that's exactly what i'm doing, using a temp table to drive the data 
out. However now, i need to delete the data from the table after its been loaded by 
the report as the data contains confidential data. What would u recommend?

It's probably a complex query... I've heard that crystal reports has a big
problem with complex queries as a result of it doing something like
(pseudocode):

WHILE EXISTS (SELECT blah blah
        FROM blah blah WHERE blah blah
        AND primarykey NOT IN (somelist))

        SELECT TOP 1 blah blah
        FROM blah blah WHERE blah blah
        AND primarykey NOT IN (somelist)

        somelist = somelist + newkey
)

That's what I've heard anyway. I've actually seen it tank a reasonably
powerful server with what looked like a reasonably simple query just because
of some basic join statements... It's entirely possible that could have been
a result of a poor understanding of Crystal, I don't know, I'm not a Crystal
expert myself. Their solution was to create a temporary table to hold the
data drawn from the "complex" query and use that temp table to drive the
report. I prefer using HTML for reports and if necessary publishing them to
PDF myself.
