ADO Asynchronous operation

edited October 2003 in General
Hello all,
Is there any way of using report builder with pipelines connected to ADO
asynch datasets?

The problem I'm facing using SYNCHRONOUS datasets is:
Opening datasets takes very long time. During this time I have no way of
reporting what's happening to the user,
and no way of canceling the dataset before it's completely fetched.

TIA
Israel

    Hi Israel,

    Try loading the datasets before calling Report.Print. This way you will be
    able to give your users a dialog box or something to let them know what is
    happening. Then when you print your report, ReportBuilder will be able to
    access the data immediately since the dataset is already connected and
    opened.

    Asynchronous datasets have not been tested but I do not believe it is
    possible to use them with RB.
