From: Vincent on 5 Aug 2010 12:42 I'm not certain if there is a "best" way to handle this, but I wish to display a "please wait" dialog on the screen before a report is fully rendered. By fully rendered, I mean that the first page of the report appears on the screen. It appears as if all of a report's events are triggered long before the first page of the report actually appears. Does anyone have an optimal way of handling this? Thanks. Vincent

Seems to be working well. Vincent

The please wait window launches after which a "blank" report area opens as the report is generating. After this "blank" report area opens, my please wait window disappears (but it is still loaded). Is there any way to prevent the please wait window from disappearing? Vincent

Are you updating records when you run the report? What are you attempting to stop? Basically, I view a report as a snapshot of data at this particular second. I suppose you could run thru the report and set a flag...If false don't print, if true then print. See help topics on NextRecord, PrintSection, MoveLayout.
