    I have several crystal reports that are  parameter driven which are  loaded on a dashboard for our users.   The problem is when the users put in the parameters
    to execute the report and click OK, the parameter screen just sit there until
    the report execute with data.   Our  users would like for something to say that
    the "report is processing"  or " please wait".     On other reports that is not parameter driven we do get  a white screen saying "please wait" .  Do anybody out there know
    how  I can make this happen for our users???

      If you know javascript, you can create a "Parameter Selection Event" in LBI.

      A "Parameter Selection Event" is really nothing more than a custom parameter page. This can be a lot of work to get a simple "please wait" to display but gives you a lot of additional parameter options.

      1. Load the report into LBI
      2. Under Report Options - select Events - You should see "Parameter Selection" and LBI asks for a URL.
      3. Create jsp file and place a link in the URL selection that points to the jsp file (parameter page)
      (code into the jsp file an event that displays "please wait" after the user hits submit but before you return the user's input to reporting services)

      I have some example jsp files we use for our reports if you would like to explore this option.
