When the Look Ahead property is checked, the draw command which represents the component on the rendered page will continue to update with the most recent calculation value until the report completes the generation of the associated page, group or column. Note: The Report Pass Setting property must be set to Two Pass in order for Look Ahead calculations to function reliably.
