Does anyone know if there's a thread that discusses how best to execute a report from a drop down list? Let's say that I have three reports that I allow user to select from the drop down list. Once the user select the report type, it should execute a fex or another html page. For now, the report will be created in MRE.
I can't recall a thread on that subject but I would be inclined to add an "onchange" event to the combo box that calls a javascript function, that in turn sets various parameteres and control values before issuing a form.submit();

Tony has a good approach. However, if you are uncomfortable with javascript, another approach maybe is run just one FEX from the onchange, and then, from that fex, choose the focexec to run based on the value passed from the list box and run that focexec.

Whilst I'm happy with the js, I do not use MRE. I know there are threads here that discuss the parameters required by MRE which could be investigated, and if you're happy with js yourself you should be able to link the two things together.
