Is there a way for a launch page to receive a value returned by a FEX procedure that is executed by a hyperlink on a button, and place that value it in an input control on that launch page?

Details....
The FEX is running a SQL Server Stored Procedure via the .MAS file and one of the parameters is an INPUT OUTPUT and the stored proc will update the value returned. The field in question is a parameter in the FEX, so I have to assign it a value on the PARAMETERS tab in DevStudio. I tried joining that parameter field to an input control field, but DevStudio does not like that.

For testing, I have the RETURN STATUS return the value I am needing, into an iFrame - this is how I am able to see it working. Accessing that value in that iFrame from the parent HTML page is where I draw a blank.

I will read over the link you posted, give it a try, and update this thread. Thanks, Waz.

I've found that pushing a value to the parent is easier that trying to pull it.
