Hello

I have a procedure and I am linking to a HTML which has some input controls. There is a listbox control as well.
When I add procedure in "Requests and Data Sources", there is an alert saying - "parameter (listbox amper variable) already exists and has a different format or selection criteria (multi select vs single select), correct problem before proceeding."

I changed the listbox to both single select and multi select but getting the same error.

All other parameters are linked fine to HTML but this parameter is not getting linked.

Please suggest anything I can try.

Thank you.

You probably have the same variable used in another procedure (from another Data Source) that is already included in your HTML and you don't have a DEFAULTH for it.

Check the PROMPT, etc in your fex, compared to the ones in your other fexes.

We usually see this when one fex is expecting multi values and the other a single value.

Pity the lost knowledge of an old programmer!
