What I am trying to accomplish (unsuccessfully so far) is that if the end-user starts the process to generate a report, and they realize it is going to take a long time, I want to provide them a "kill" button.  The kill button would post a message to the report and tell it to stop.

What happens with my test

               Form 1 – select a report

Activates the window with the "kill" button

                        Then Actives a form for the user to filter the report data (Form 2)

                Form 2 – select "print" button, activates report

                         Cursor spins until the report finishes

                         Report finishes and then I can go back to the "kill" windows, but by now it is too late

 Once they select the print button … I want them to be able to go to the "kill" button form BUT this is not possible until the report finishes

 I understand the logic behind the way it works.  I'm just looking for a "work around" 😊

My early prototype worked, but that's because both of the forms popped up interactive windows, which a report does not.

Thanks for any ideas!
