Agreed, but (as far as I can see) the method that is now employed to harness RL is sooo different that it requires that older versions are brought into line, so I am not confident that a yes or no option would even be possible.

I concur with the fact that the GUI is the new developers friend, and would also suggest that when a change in a release is this big any recent training that may have been received can be rendered next to useless. It wouldn't be so bad if the help files in Dev Studio were not so "Maintain" biased.

Over time there might be more acceptance of the new tools, as is the general movement with new releases of what ever software. For now though give me notepad!

Did you ever find a solution to your prompting issue in 7.1x?

This worked from IBI

You should be able to customize to allow the default of "Run in New Window"
checkbox to be checked via the following:

Location of the file:
ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\describe\autoprompt.xsl

Original Version:

function onLoadDescribeForm( )
{
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperStaticMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperDynamicMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperAcceptMulti.disabled=true;
with( document.WFDescribeForm )
{
var formLen = elements.length;
for( var i = 0; i <
formLen; ++i )
if( elements[i].type != 'hidden' disable-output-escaping="yes">&& elements[i].disabled ==
false )
{
elements[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}

You just need to add the following line to the beginning of the function:

document.WFDescribeForm.reportTarget.checked=true;

Therefore, the function should look something like:

function onLoadDescribeForm( )
{
document.WFDescribeForm.reportTarget.checked=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperStaticMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperDynamicMulti.disabled=true;
document.WFDescribeForm.AmperAcceptMulti.disabled=true;
with( document.WFDescribeForm )
{
var formLen = elements.length;
for( var i = 0; i <
formLen; ++i )
if( elements[i].type != 'hidden' disable-output-escaping="yes">&& elements[i].disabled ==
false )
{
elements[i].focus();
break;
}
}
}

Just location the function onLoadDescribeForm() in the file indicated
and add the single of line of code at the beginning of it prior to any
other code. Do not adjust any other code. Also, make a backup of this file
prior to any changes as a precaution.
