I am at a lost and need some help. I would like to display a "Report is being Generating" window after pressing a button on form to call a Report.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks...
Alan

What is your environment setup?? People will be able to respond better once they know your environment setup.

mamboBROWN,
Sorry about that, I am using ASP, MSSQL 2000 in CCS 3.02.2. What I have is a page that the user selects a property from a Grid. Then it shows a button to click on. Once this button is pressed, it generates a report which was created using Report Builder. What would be nice is to have a page pop up after pressing the button that the "Report is being Generated" (someone like what Reporting Services (MSSQL). This way the user is notify that the something is happening. Some of the reports are 30+ pages and could take up to a minute to process.
Thanks...
Alan

What I've done in the past to manage slow pages, is to after hitting the submit, instead of redirecting to the actual page/report, I go to an intermediate page that has a 'please wait' on it. That intermediate page, upon load, does an immediate redirect to the actual final page passing all of the querystring parameters to the final page.
I found the basic paradigm here http://www.aspnetpro.com/NewsletterArticle/2003/08/asp2...p200308bm_l.asp (and do a google search on Make a progress indicator for slow-loading pages). The apsnetpro tidbit is well written with an example.
