I am creating an HTML Page with HTML Composer. I've added a frame. I'd like to Create a new External Request and point that to an existing HTML page in a folder on the Web Server (an approot folder). It appears I can only point to an HTML file in the Repository. Why this restriction? The HTML file is generated by an application outside of WebFOCUS, I would like to reference it in the iframe.

I think you are going to get the same answer as you last question about web components.

Create a link in the content, then reference it.

Thanks Waz. I figured out that workaround.

I thought App Studio would be more advanced than Dev Studio, but there seems to be some stuff missing.

Yes, it is a "tad" frustrating.

But from my perspective, I reprogrammed my brain to use app studio.

Would you mind sharing the XML file for that please and thank you kindly.

We are in our conversion process, they said it wouldn't be painful...they fibbed.
