Ahh Yes - the NOWAIT switch.

This is part of the problem because program execution continues after the REPORT FORM command and returns you back to READ EVENTS. If you have a timer running which updates other forms or toolbars, they all have to share the same datasession.

The other problem is the VFP print preview toolbar itself. It appears that NOWAIT returns the toolbar back to it's default state which doesn't recognize the activeform's private datasession. The only thing I can suggest to you is to trash the toolbar by putting the following code after REPORT FORM (lcReportName) PREVIEW NOWAIT:

RELEASE WINDOW ("Print Preview")

The only problem is that your users won't be able to print from a report preview.
