Does anyone know how to call a .htm page created in WebFOCUS from Visualbasic? The customer is stating that they are not able to populate their drop-down box using a datasource known to WebFOCUS when calling from Visualbasic. It works inside DevStudio and via the URL.
Still checking manuals for some sample code.

Thanks in advance!
Rhonda

Thanks for the response and link - The issue was more straight forward - All I needed to do is a servlet call On Load and pass the string with the parms necessary to call the fex and get through security. Thanks Diptesh!
From a previous question in March I found the following: call a URL with the VB you are trying to use. If so the process is a straight forward URL of the form -

http[s]://[yourserver]/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIAPP_app=[your app folder]&IBIF_ex=[the focexec]&Parm1=[variable value]&.... etc.

Where &Parm1 is any variable(s) you need to pass to the called fex.
