    Export query issue


    Hello,

    I'm having trouble exporting a query, as in it takes a very very long time (at least 1 and a half hours). After that i shut it down

    To be fair the query is kind of large:
    The firs column is filled with customerID's (over 50000)
    Columns 2->32 are DLookUp expressions that populate data for all clients
    Columns 33->39 are basically custom functions (Rcounts, Rsums, Average)
    The record count is aprox. 1950000.

    Here is a link to another post of mine (so you can get an ideea of what my database looks like) where i had some troubles with the custom functions:
    https://www.accessforums.net/queries...003-18164.html

    I think that the problem is that there are too many Dlookup expressions, this causing the extremely long time to export.

    Does anyone know a way to solve this issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    Could you eliminate the DLookups by creating relationships within queries? Not sure what the overhead difference is on them, but it is what I would try.

    Relationships would not help because the data from columns 2->32 is in brought from 31 independent tables.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
