Hi

Can anyone suggest a method by which I can allow a user to terminate a report whilst it is being processed. Typically I do the following:

1. Get the user to enter the report criteria (customer range, date range etc)
2. Calculate the number of records to process
3. Start the report
4. Display a progress bar in a small form
5. Loop through the records, update the progress bar and output to the report
6. Finish the report

I have tried adding a cancel button to the progress window and monitoring int_flag within the foreach but of course there is no active dialog and so the cancel button is inactive.

Any suggestions/ideas would be very welcome.

Thanks
Gary

Hello,

You should have a look at our documentation, there is an example given how to deal with report interruption in the Reports Tutorial:
