When the REPORT FORM (with NOWAIT) command was issued the timer's .Interval was set to 50 milliseconds. In tracking this (via SET DEBUGOUT TO and DEBUGOUT), I found that the interval jumped from an average of less than 60 milliseconds to over a full second when print button was clicked. BTW, this was with a report with only one record being printed. Well, I said it wasn't elegant...

Hey George ... it's only Tuesday. :-)))
All seriousness aside, I don't think they did much of anything with the report writer since they basically didn't even address it at DevCon.
