I have customers who hit the RUN button in an auto prompt procedure several times if the report doesn't respond as quickly as they would like.

Does anyone know of a way to post a "Report is running" message that is visible to the user while the report is in progress?

One simple solution I use is to add a -PROMPT &MSG.*** Please do not click the RUN button but once ***.

SRC,

What helps is running the report with "open new window".

The fact that a new window pops-up is confirmation for the user that the report has started.

Or you could fiddle around in the autoprompt files and add some Jscript that shows an Alert when the run button is pressed...

G'luck

//add showRunning() in the onsubmit property of the Form

function showRunning() {
window["iframe1"].document.body.innerHTML = "<br><br><b>Running, please wait...</b>";
}

Dave and AlexU, both good suggestions. Thanks for your responses. Dave, do you mean set "Run in a new window" as the default or just instruct the users to check that box on the auto prompt screen?

Thanks..............Steve

Well,

you can instruct the users, but they'll forget about it soon.

Default would be better.

But AlexU's solution is actually a bit better. Mine is quick workaround.

G'luck

AlexU, can that script code be added to auto prompt or just html forms code?
