The first thing that you need to understand and remedy is that you must have two fields in the output of your fexes because of the way in which the XML is pattern matched - it looks for both C0 and C1 elements.

When you say that [sic] "can not get the dynamich chainning for two dropdowns using the following focexecs", what is not working? What are the symptoms or errors that you are receiving?

Hi Tony...thanks for getting back to me..!

The first dropdown doesn't populate at all and the second has data in it. If I run them separately they look ok...when I attached them to the dropdown boxes and chain them ...nothing seems to work...I also tried unchainning them and that didn't work.

below is one of the documents I found that I was trying to follow:

Designing a User Interface for a Web Application With the Resource Layout Painter
Developing Reporting Applications 6-67
Example: Retrieving Values for Chained Variables With Caching Disabled
In the following procedures, there are three parameters (REGION, ST, CITY). Caching is
disabled, so each parameter control must be mapped to its own procedures.
Procedure 1 1 (REGION)

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM FST.REGION
BY REGION
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END

Fex 2 (ST)
TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM FST.ST
BY ST
WHERE REGION EQ ®ION;
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END

Tony,
looks like one line didn't copy correctly in the example of the fex 2:
should be
WHERE REGION EQ ®ION;
AND NOT
WHERE REGION EQ ®ION;

THANKS

You may wish to post the code of the HTML page, within 
[code]
[/code]
tags, please (the code tag is added when you click on the </> button. You could also edit your previous posts in this thread and put the code between the tags. Also, perhaps you could correct that lisp in the thread title.

Regards,


Francis

MM, how about posting your html code so we can see how the dynamic procedures are called?
