Hi, I'm developing an application that generates reports in MS Word format. The report generation process is perfect but an empty window is generated requiring the business users to manually close it for every report generated. Sample code is as follows: ... ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT HTMTABLE ... SET HTMLFORMTYPE = DOC -RUN -HTMLFORM BEGIN !IBI.FIL.HOLD1 ; -HTMLFORM END I've tried a number of WebFocus WEBVIEW... commands and the best configuration places the report in that window but there is no option to save to a MS Word file. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you, NickThis message has been edited. Last edited by: <Emily McAllister>, WebFOCUS 7.7.03 & 8.0.7 Windows HTML, Excel, PDF, etc. Also, using Maintain, etc. | ||

Not sure if its relevant in your case, but I have noticed that in 8.1.05, the window closes automatically when files like XLSX and PDF are returned Waz...

Hi Waz, This client is on 7.7.03. Do you know of a technique to name the window that -HTMLFORM creates? If so, maybe issuing a WINDOW.CLOSE with the same name will do the trick. Thanks... Nick WebFOCUS 7.7.03 & 8.0.7 Windows HTML, Excel, PDF, etc. Also, using Maintain, etc. | |||

have you messed about with the redirection settings? wf admin console, config, redirection settings.... that panel of choices has to do with that extra window being opened... whatever you have for .doc extension(y or n), change it, clear cache, and try again.

Hi, Susannah: I don't have access to those controls and there are many applications, at this client site. So, that option is not available to me. My next move is to use a non-Focus method to open a named window, so, I than can close it by name. I'll update this post as more info is available. Thank you all for your assistance...
