Hi all
I am using an image to drill down to the same fex that has the the drill down code.
When users selects PDF file, only then the image (excel button) will show in a heading for them to get the Excel version of the Report.

Image shows when PDF output is selected. But it does not drill down..
I had it working when I used simple text "Export to Excel"

I had created a Car Sample and it works, but not in my fex
Would appreciate if someone can see what's missing .. Thanks

Here is the Drill Code

 
-IF &WFFMT NE 'PDF' THEN GOTO SKIPDRILL;
TYPE=SUBHEAD,
     BY=GLRE_LOC_ID,
	 IMAGE=app/excel2010_TINY.gif,
     POSITION=(8.500000 0.001000),
     TARGET='_blank',
     FOCEXEC=app/FIMP_MAIN.fex( \
     USERID='&USERID' \
     APP='&APP' \
     REPORT_ID='&REPORT_ID' \
     LOCTYPE='&LOCTYPE' \
     PROC_DATE='&PROC_DATE' \
     PROC_YEAR_NO='&PROC_YEAR_NO' \
	 PROC_MONTH_NO='&PROC_MONTH_NO' \
     RANGE_BEG_DATE='&RANGE_BEG_DATE' \
     RANGE_END_DATE='&RANGE_END_DATE' \
	 REPORT_AUTO_NO='&REPORT_AUTO_NO' \
	 HOLD_RAN='&HOLD_RAN' \
	 LOCPARAM=&LOCPARAM.QUOTEDSTRING \
     WFFMT='EXL2K' \
     ),
$
-SKIPDRILL
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-EXIT

when you produce a pdf report, remember you are totally disconnected from the server, so any references to urls have to be complete references, not relative references.
there are several ways to do that,
the easiest to understand might be to just hard code the complete url in your drill-down bit.
eg: image = http...
focexec=http....

Also note, webfocus loves to cache pages, especially if your within a portal. Some times just right clicking and clicking refresh, changes your results.
