[SOLVED] setting to get I.E. to always open new window

What is the setting to make Internet Explorer on Windows XP open a new window every time a report or launch page is run, rather than reuse the same window? Maybe I overlooked the setting -- I checked IE's options and the Options in the Window menu of Dev. Studio, but didn't see it.

Thank you,

John

If you're running a report from a launch page form, add 
target="_blank"
to the 
<form
tag.

Thank you, Francis. What if you're running standalone focexecs without launch pages, and need to view 2 reports in separate I.E. windows?

If you're trying to run two separate reports in a single fex , they cannot be returned to two separate browser windows without using a either launch page or some other code with a -HTMLFORM.

Darin,
Just trying to run one report per focexec.


Francis,
Just select the focexec and click the run button, and you get WebFOCUS's Auto Prompting Facility for the parameters.


There is a setting that will cause IE to open a new window each time, I just can't remember what that setting is and where to find it.

If it's Dev Studio, there's an option you can change:

Dev Studio > Window > Options... > Use new browser to execute

That's it!

I must have looked at that options dialog box a half a dozen times and kept missing it!

Thank you!
