diff in openings excel output from CR

[paramsocool]

I am exporting an a CR into excel and it has more than 110000 records and around 559 pages, IT gets exported fine but when I am trying to open the excel it goes into thinking mode and gets to not responding mode.

Any advice

If you do a cut-down version, does that work OK?

It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options.

what do you mean by cut-down version.....if I am exporting only a couple of pages it works fine....but for 700 pages it freezes in excel but pdf and rtf works fine

Excel holds a maximum of 65,536 rows of data per sheet. Crystal cannot export to multiple sheets.

Out of curiosity, why are you exporting to excel? What are you possibly going to accomplish in excel that you cannot get directly from crystal?
