Dealing with Low Memory Conditions
In Print Preview, when you page forward through a report, Report Builder keeps the previously viewed report pages in memory. If several other Windows applications are running while you are previewing a large report, there might not be enough memory to store additional preview pages. If this occurs, Report Builder displays the following message: “Insufficient Memory to Continue Print Preview.”
You can specify one of the three actions described in Table 15–2.

Description
|
Pause Print Process
|
Choosing this option is equivalent to choosing the Pause button on the Preview screen. After pausing the preview, you can switch out of Report Builder and free up memory by terminating other Windows applications. You can then continue with the report preview.
|
Free Earlier Pages
|
Report Builder begins removing earlier report pages (beginning with the first page) from memory until enough memory has been freed up to continue the preview. After you choose this option, Report Builder continues to free earlier pages as necessary as you page forward through the report.
To view any of the earlier pages that have been freed from memory, you must cancel and then restart Preview.
|
Terminate Preview Process
|
Choosing this option is equivalent to choosing the Stop button on the Preview screen. Report Builder returns to the layout window. If you choose Print Preview again, the preview begins at the first report page.
