Brian,
OK, by setting up a couple of stops in the program, I was able to confirm that the BMP is coming out of the C:\COMET\CATEMP folder for each sheet generated. I also removed the FLUSH command from the logic so now you can open the Windows printer at the CA PC and watch as the pages increase in one(1) Windows print spool. My test consisted of generating(Bit Map, Form, & Data) ten(10) documents. It took about 15-20 minutes to have the CA PC gather the printouts in the Windows Print Spooler. Once gathered it took about 15 seconds to do the actual print. Remember, this is a dial-up Internet line, so I expect it to be a little slow. When they were just printing data, ten(10) documents, maybe 3-5 minutes on the same Internet line.
With the BMP confirmed as being local, the only other part that would contribute to this slow down would be the program creating the actual form?
So, is there a way, in CometAnywhere, to put the actual program resident(C:\COMET\CATEMP) so the program executes locally but retreives the data from the CometAnywhere HOST?
Thanks
