The problem this will cause is that since you are no longer in a wait state, code keeps running: something that you probably dont want (given the fact that you arent asking "Why do I always have to stop execution when previewing a report <g>).

By the way,

you can use RELEASE WINDOW 'Print Preview' too (or DEACTIVATE, I'm not sure). See the Tasmanian Traders sample. You don't have to check if the toolbar is visible then either, because RELEASE doesn't give an error if there is no window/toolbar.
