You can use the NOWAIT clause on reports ...

REPORT FORM MyReport PREVIEW NOWAIT

However .. if you are NOT using Private Datasessions on the report, and you
are using a pre-VPF9 version, you have to be careful about not closing or
altering the tables out from under the report. Every time you navigate to a
new page, it needs to access the tables. If other forms or reports are
messing with the tables, indexes, record pointers, etc. you'll get quirky
results.

If you are using VFP 9 .. this isn't a problem because it generates the
entire report first, and then displays the preview.
