<< 1. I am looking to display a series of one page summary reports. Is there any way to set a "timer" on the displaying of a report and have the report close on its own without intervention? >>
I would approach this by printing the reports to JPG or another disk format, then displaying them inside your form in an image field. This will give you a lot of flexibility: A. Use the form timer to regenerate and reload the report, or cycle through a set of reports, as desired. B. Display several reports side by side, or on tabs. << 2. Any suggestions on inserting an "exit key" which will terminate a "loop" of commands being performed. ex: The stopping of a slide show. >> Even if you are running a loop of commands R:Base will execute the code in the ON CLICK EEP of a button. So do this: ---------------------- -- Loop Code ---------------------- -- Set global exit flag SET VAR gExitFlag = 'N' WHILE 1 = 1 THEN -- Do loop stuff here IF gExitFlag = 'Y' THEN BREAK -- From WHILE loop ENDIF ENDWHILE RETURN ---------------------- -- Button Code ---------------------- -- Signal main loop to exit SET VAR gExitFlag = 'Y' RETURN Note that if the code that you put into "Do loop stuff here" section is lengthy and takes time, you can insert multiple checks against gExitFlag into the code, assuming that it's legitimate to interrupt the loop in the middle. -- Larry
