exiting report causes errors during report generation

[mainbyte]

Using vb6 (sp4) and the supplied crystal reports, is there a way to exit the report during generation without totaly killing cr. In other words a user clicks to generate a report, while the report is previewing (and still loading data) the user clicks the exit button. this usaully causes the whole program to crash. I have tried using err trapping with limited success. I do have all reports pointing to 1 control on my switchboard. I have removed the windowcontrols, but then can find no way to close the report.

some alternatives would be:
1. report does not show until completed
2. alternative way to close report other than the windowcontrols
3. learn the correct way to do this
4. go back to playing quake full time

Other than this cr is working very nice.

thanks

mainbyte: As an alternative to full-time Quake play why not suppress the exit button from the viewer and have some other control close the preview window for you. That way your user cannot exit until preview completed David C. Monks
