    How to Tell When Crystal Reports 10 Report View is Busy in VB6

    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!
