Hi All. The question: How do I let the user know how long it will take to execute their query? Either in text or visually. I'm stumped because the execution is on the server and I want to display how much time is left on the browser. While I can create a visual in a new window that will load on the "press" of the download button (js event), any in-line js code to close the window is already processed when the page loads and there is no event to trigger the window.close(). The result is that the "information window" does not close when the browser download file window appears. I, naturally, want the "information window" to close when the browser download file window appears. Any and all suggestions welcome. A little more detail: We have large data result sets that are prepared for downloading (at the user's request). Each download is the result of a user applying any number of filters to a large data warehouse of information. On page A, the user pushes a button that 'creates and executes' the query through CF_File, which prepares a tab delimited file for EXCEL. Once the query is finished, the Browser DownLoad window appears (over which we have no control -- that I can figure out, anyway). The query executes quite rapidly in Sybase IQv.12 but takes quite a bit of time "formatting" in ColdFusion. I want to let the user know that the data is processing and remove the message when the browser download window(s) (depending on whether the browser is IE or Netscpate) appear. Thanks, Carol Carol L.
