>>Hi,

>>My pageframe has two pages, one that lets the user choose reports to be printed and the a second with information that has to be computed. The problem is that it takes some time to compute the information on page 2. The question is how do I (1) activate page 2 _before_ I start the computation, (2) do the computation and (3) display the computation, all with only one click of the user.

I have recently attempted to tackle the same problem. My approach, which works fine except for one little glitch... uses a timer. On the pageframe.activate, I enable a timer that performs the computations and displays the results on the page, after the screen has been active for 1 second. (Interval = 1000, active = .F.). At the end of the code in the timer event is this.enabled = .F.. This gives the page a chance to load and become active before the computations take place (I chose a timer because I didn't know of an event that takes place after the activate event. This works great except that I can't get the timer to disable itself after it executes the code. this.enabled = .F. as the last line of the timer event code seems to have no effect. This causes the computations to be performed over and over. Anyway, I hoper this posting can serve as both a hint and a question. Tip: use a timer. Question: How do I use a timer? :-)
