Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

No XML cant be used in this case. I Just want to USE a FOCUS DB file as a Datasource.


Thanks,

The input to a Composer control needs to be XML.

However you are trying to use HTMLFORM but trying to steal the code from a composer
generated control.

A 100% No Go.

Either use the composer or hand code it. You cannot mix it.

Can you manipulate WebFOCUS, Yes, But you need to understand what you are doing.

If your FOCUS file is inline with your HTMLFORM, then will it exist when the form is populated ?
