	Hello, Does anyone know how to add a 'Progress Bar' to a Crystal Report so you can then see when the report is about to display in CRViewer? This would be handy for large reports. Thanks. Edited by jspc - 28 Oct 2014 at 6:13pm

	not really possible. Once the data is retrieved, the report tends to start displaying, but how long will the data retrieval take? Unknown. The best that you can hope for is some indicator that the computer is not locked... CR already has the little spiny thing. Also, I don't think that CR allows you to tap into the code to see where it is in its processing of the data. HTH

	something elase to consider is to remove the 'page n of m' if you are using it (or any other function that require the entire report to be virtually created before it can be rendered in the viewer). Basically it has to draw the entire report to get the M value then redraw the entire report for actual display. Slows it way down for large reports.
