We have a .fex that when it has run lets you click on a column and execute another fex. This report is accessed through a link on our dashboard and works fine.

When I email this same .fex using Caster Standard Reports and open the attachment it gives me the original report. The links are highlighted on the report indicating I should be able to click on them and run the other .fex but nothing happens when I click on the link.

Any ideas on what I need to do to make this work?

Thanks.

You must have the SET FOCEXURL command pointing to your WebFOCUS server to enable drilldowns in a ReportCaster distributed report:

SET FOCEXURL=http://your-server-name/ibi_apps/WFServlet

ReportCaster Development and Administration > Tips and Techniques for Coding a ReportCaster Report > Limitations for Using WebFOCUS Features

Look at "Using SET Commands to Access Live Links or Drill Downs".
