|Well, you don't say how big each record is, but it shouldn't take very
|long. Probably a few minutes. As for indexes, just make sure they have high
|selectivity and try turning them off if things go too slow (but I doubt you
|will have any trouble).

|I'd recommend IBO with FastReport. Haven't used FastReport myself, but have
|heard positive things about it. And IBO is a brilliant tool winning the
|Delphi Informants Best Database Connectivity Award every year. I think
|ReportBuilder is the best alternative to FastReport.

]- ok.. i will not use Reports modules, but will generate .xls files (with another VCL component)..
