How to avoid repeated pages in detail section ?after I joined all my tables left join, my report running slow .any idea to solve this problem?
 
You need to much more specific about the issue.

I joined all my tables left outer join , because I can not get records when I use inner join .but the report running slow it takes 5 minutes to get the records.
also I am getting repeated records in detail section ?
 
Left outer join will be much slower that a inner join, but sometimes the only way to get the data. Did you click on the Select Distinct Records under the Database menu item to remove duplicates?
 
How you link tables should be driven by the logic of your report, not by whether you can get records or not.

You can handle duplication through grouping and/or using "suppress if duplicated" formatting options and/or using running totals to ignore duplicate records.
