   How to Tell When Crystal Reports 10 Repo   
   29 Dec 06 23:17:09   
   
   From: david@NOSPAMdbarber.com   
      
   I'm using VB6 with the Crystal Reports 10 ActiveX Report Viewer control.   
   The problem is that the user can select various reports from a menu, and the   
   SQL Server database is located 500 miles away in a CoLo.  As such, the   
   reports come up more slowly than they would with a local DB due to nasty   
   latency.   
      
   The problem is if you attempt to switch to a second report before the first   
   report is fully rendered you get a run-time error.  While I didn't see   
   anything obvious in the properties or events of the Report Viewer, is there   
   a way to get a status from this control so that if it's still busy rendering   
   I can simply refuse to accept the input event to bring up another report?   
      
   Crystal Documentation beyond the CR10 application itself is a bear to even   
   locate, let alone find what you need in it.   
      
   Thanks!
