I have an HTML launch page where you can pick several different spreadsheets to run.

One of the Spreadsheets has a drilldown in the first column...that passes two parameters.
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=NEWFEX-KEN-(AREA=N1Period=&Period),
TARGET=new,
$

The Drilldown Focexec...is a compound Spread sheet and takes about 2 minutes to run...but you can't tell it is running...so I would like an Alert to say this <script>

alert("This will take a few minutes to process......");




Problem is, no matter where I put this...the report is finished processing when the alert comes up....not very useful.

I'm not very good with Javascript...so any Ideas on where to stick this? or another thought.

Try lateral thinking.
Instead of an alert just call a HTML page with the "one minute please' text (or a .gif) on it. Have this new HTML page call the NEWFEX procedure immediately. (body onload....)
Obviously you will need to pass the parameters, but I'm sure that a Guru can work that one out. :-)

Quite right Paul.

An alert will also stop further processing until the alert is acknowledged (unless you issue the alert directly afterwards!).

Prarie,

There have been a few posts on this topic that might assist. try this one for starters.
