How to print report without waiting for entire buffering?

[brittoalexis]

I had a huge database records. In order to print reports(approximately 500 pages) i want the system not to wait for the entire pages to be stored in the buffer. when ever one page come into the buffer , it will start printing without waiting for entire records. HOw can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

First, make sure that:

1) You are not using the speical fields that rely on the total page number. There are two: Page N of M and Total Pages.

2) Eliminate grand totals if possible. If not, replace them with running totals and place the runnign total fields in the report footer.
