>I would like to Flash a 'Preparing Files ...Please Wait ' window just after a user clicks a button to preview a report. This window is to be release once the preview window is visible. The window is a DEFINE WINDOW Type not of the WAIT WINDOW style. Where do I put my code ?

One possibility is to use WAIT WINDOW while you are preparing the files. Once that is completed, issue WAIT CLEAR. There are variations on this theme such as putting up a new form with just the message on it and then releasing the form when file preparation is complete.
