Persuing this further - would it be possible to call a Bus Obj with my Async SQL query, with a timer on the bus obj checking every once in awhile for completion, but allowing the user to call other forms in my app to do other stuff while waiting?

>>We have an app with several long-running report queries to a SQL back end. We wanted the user to be able to open another form in the same app and do other stuff while the report sql call is being serviced.

>>We do have a sync/async switch for sql connections - but I guess I'm unclear about how to put this to use in a practical way.
