I have a very simple launch page. Only selections are year type and year.

Year Type is State Fiscal Year (default) and Federal Fiscal Year.

I have 2 files that hold the appropriate years. SFYLIST and FFYLIST. The page displays fine. The problem I am having is changing year files when the year type changes:

Here's what I have:
  <tr>
    <td width="20%" height="9">
      <p align="left"</p><font face="Arial" size="2">[b]Year Type:[/b]</font><br>
        <select name="YRTYPE" id="YrType" size="2" onChange="chgYrFile()">
          <option value="1" selected>State Fiscal Year</option>
          <option value="2">Federal Fiscal Year</option>
        </select>
    </td>
    <td width="30%" height="9">
      <p align="left">[b]<font face="Arial" size="2">Select Year:</font>[/b]<br>
        <Select size=2 name='RPTYR' id="YrFile">
!IBI.FIL.SFYLIST;
        </select>
      </p>
    </td>
  </tr>


I am trying to write a little javascript function named chgYrFile() to change the SFYLIST to FFYLIST.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'd include "F" and "S" (for federal and State) in a file and chain it from your radio button (or whatever the selection control is). That way the listbox, or whatever that control is, will change when the radio button changes. I hope this makes sense to you, it's quite clear in my mind...

I took a different approach. Wrote a javascript function that based on the current date and year type selected, computes and builds the year list.

If that works for you, then so be it... Smiler
