Its actually reporting on a database... so the query is expected to take a
while. I just need a courtesy message so people dont think its crashed.

I am playing with your suggestions but the popup cant do the page change
because it has to be a form submission.

I need to transfer the parent over on the child window. Or is there another
way to display a please wait message that starts on the onsubmit event
handler and finishes on another pages onload handler?
