Hi Victor. I am using SQL Server. I did what you explained in your mesage previously. I used a tiny form with an animated gif in it. I show this form (modeless, not modal, because modal stops execution of the program). What happened is that just when the remote view begins to run, the animated gif remains frozen. Then, when the remote view finishes running the form I programmatically close it. Which does not works as I expected.
