Thanks, Steve. Unfortunately, this report is called from a program... Is it possible to organize progress bar from a program?

Is it possible to interrupt the report? Basically, animation idea works (not on my machine for some reason), but the animation form doesn't receive focus and it doesn't allow me to stop report...

>>Hi everybody,

>>I run report to a PDF. I do it twice, because I need to do some special processing on the file. I hide Printing window. How can I show my own progress bar to give user some info, what's going on... Or may be it's better to show some animation?
