    copied!<p>I found a solution for this situation that uses iframes. It's not classic asp, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Here's the <a href="http://encosia.com/2007/10/03/easy-incremental-status-updates-for-long-requests/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">article</a> I found.</p> <p><strong>EDIT: added code.</strong></p> <p>Container page called by your application:</p> <pre><code>&lt;head runat="server"&gt; &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; function BuildPDF() { var iframe = document.createElement("iframe"); iframe.src = "BuildPDF.asp?" + &lt;whatever args you need&gt;; iframe.style.display = "none"; document.body.appendChild(iframe); } function UpdateProgress(message) { document.getElementById('txtStatus').value = message; } function SetDisplayFileName(fileName) { var viewFrame = document.createElement("iframe"); viewFrame.id = "viewFrame"; viewFrame.src = "WhateverTheNameOfYourPDFViewASPPageAndArgs"; viewFrame.style.width = '100%'; viewFrame.style.height = document.documentElement.clientHeight - 20; document.body.appendChild(viewFrame); } function ResizeFrame() { var viewFrame = document.getElementById("viewFrame"); viewFrame.style.height = document.documentElement.clientHeight - 20; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body onload="BuildPDF();" onresize="ResizeFrame();"&gt; &lt;form id="form1" runat="server"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="txtStatus" style="width:80%; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;" readonly="readonly" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then, somewhere in your BuildPDF.asp, you have a function something like this that you can call anytime you want to update the status message:</p> <pre><code>function UpdateProgress(message) Response.Write("&lt;script&gt;parent.UpdateProgress('" &amp; message &amp; "');&lt;/script&gt;") Response.Flush() end function </code></pre> <p>The page you have referenced in the "viewFrame" is your page that streams the ContentType "application/pdf." Again, I did this in ASP.Net, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work in classic ASP.</p>
