show report progress
                    I have a report including several results from long queries in 
variables. I want to show the progress of the report building
process.
I tried priming the variables values prior to report generation
but, of course, the variable are reset at this point.
So now placing the query generation in each variable oncalc
menas a long blank screen until all 25 variables are calculated.
Ideally I want to show a progress bar but during report
generation the form is not visible.
Any ideas?

I would try to model this by doing the calculations prior to running the
report. You could store the calc results in a TList, TStringList, or
array. Then use the JITPipeline to print the results.
