DOH!! This might actually work! <slaps-forhead/>
I haven't used frames in *years* (five or six now) so I completely missed
this approach.
If you have the long-running process periodically check that session
variable... Hmm...
[start]
Session ( "cancel" ) = false
[user fires report]
Session ( "cancel" ) = false 'still
[user changes mind, hits cancel button in control frame]
Session ( "cancel" ) = true
[report generator checks session]
While generatingReport
Every 60 Seconds:
If Session ( "cancel" ) then
TERMINATE REPORT
End If

Dang, that's a good idea -- I'll have to stash that one away for future use!
:)
And I'm still technically right -- this just hacks around it using two
document instances in a single browser, so there! ;)
