I would query JadeSupport on what constitutes a "quite moment in processing".

Its possible that they mean that the program gets back into it's main message loop, in which case you can probably force it with a call to doWindowEvents after each report.

Tried that - no joy.
Also tried a process.sleep - no joy.

Have you tried using createPrintForm ?

Just use :
form := FrmRLPrint.createPrintForm;

Instead of the usual :
create form;

createPrintForm is what you need. We had exactly the same issue in Jasper with a job that created an arbitrary number of report forms. You don't have any control over when JADE decides to get in and clean up the Windows resources, so the only way to get around the issue is not to use them.

We did find a couple of issues with the behaviour of some controls on a form created with createPrintForm - one was that TextBox::lineCount didn't work (fixed in 5.1.10.66) and another was an issue where attempting to reset the value of the TextBox text property back to it's original value in Painter after it had been changed at runtime didn't work (patched in 5.1.10.158)

Good luck.
