Charles: The only problem is that if I use the CLS before he report, it defeats the purpose of the message, if I place it after the report, the message is still there in front of the report. I am sure that there is an obvious solution that I am overlooking. Javier, Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.

Another possibilty since there is more than one report is to print them to a PDF document and use the Variable Web Broswer component to open the document up by placing the filename into the variable then buttons can be placed on the form so the user can pick any of the four documents to look at. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Javier Valencia Posted At: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 9:40 AM Posted To: RB7-L Conversation: [RBG7-L] - Displaying status message Subject: [RBG7-L] - Displaying status message I have to print a set of reports and I use the following snippet of code: -- Print report 1 PRINT inv_report_cover WHERE + inv_no = .vinv_no ORDER BY inv_no ASC + OPTION SCR|Window_State MAXIMIZED -- Print report 2 PAUSE 3 USING 'GENERATING SUMMARY REPORT...' CAPTION 'Invoice Utility' PRINT invoice_report WHERE + equip_fleet = .vequip_fleet AND fwo_stat = 'C' AND + wo_actual_end BETWEEN .vinv_start_date AND .vinv_end_date + ORDER BY fwo_no ASC + OPTION SCR|Window_State MAXIMIZED -- Print report 3 PAUSE 3 USING 'GENERATING EQUIPMENT FUEL REPORT...' CAPTION 'Invoice Utility' PRINT fuel_invoice WHERE equip_fleet = .vequip_fleet AND + fuel_date BETWEEN .vinv_start_date AND .vinv_end_date + ORDER BY fuel_location ASC, fuel_date ASC, fuel_time ASC + OPTION scr|window_state maximized -- Print report 4 PAUSE 3 USING 'GENERATING OTHER FUEL REPORT...' CAPTION 'Invoice Utility' PRINT fuel_invoice_other WHERE equip_fleet = .vequip_fleet AND + fuel_date BETWEEN .vinv_start_date AND .vinv_end_date + ORDER BY fuel_location ASC, fuel_date ASC, fuel_time ASC + OPTION scr|window_state maximized The first report prints very quickly but the following reports may take a considerably longer time depending on data. After I close the current report and while the next report is being generated, I want to display a message informing the user that the report is being generated and I want the message to go away when the report displays. I am pretty sure that the code above used to work but now, when the next report displays, the message remain on the screen, in front of the report. I have tried using several variations of the PAUSE command with no luck. I am obviously overlooking something very simple, or I may be using the wrong command to display the message, any help will be greatly appreciated.
