I have constructed a launch page that contains 6 listboxes that all all chained together to create cascading filters. If the procedure that I call is in HTML format this all works great. My problem is that the report procedure I am calling has approx 25 columns of data and I want to have it perform a freeze on the 6th column so everything to the left stays static and all the data to the right scrolls. I changed the output to an Active HTML Report so I could set the freeze but now after selecting my parameters the data in the active report gets all out of whack with values appearing in the wrong columns and most of the fields displaying as undefined. Is it possible to use chaining when you have active report output or is this not supported? If this doesn't work then is there a way to do a vertical freeze (column freeze) in HTML?

Thanks,
Bob

As far as I know, the Launch Page, with the chaining, only creates the report and has nothing to do with the resultant report (other then filtering accordingly). Have you tried runing the report from outside of the Launch Page to see if you get the same undesirerable results? that would narrow it down to the Launch Page or the fex or the final output...

About "vertical freeze (column freeze) in HTML": It's totally in HTML control, way beyond the controls of WebFOCUS, at that point...

Another solution might be to launch the result page in a new window. That way the chaining page and the active page do not interfere with each other, which should give you total control over both pages.

I'll try launching this into a separate window and see if I get the same results.

Thanks,
Bob
