Does anyone have any experience in embedding WebFOCUS reports in an external application? We want to take existing reports and make them available to external customers on our website.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Matthew, if you are wanting to make html pages that are includable in another website, its pretty easy to do.
I'm assuming by 'External customers', you mean they don't have execution privileges onto your webfocus server, so they won't be drilling down, for instance.
But just to make an html report and park it on your extranet server... piece of cake.
Say your extranet server is called \\extranet
and the directory you use for your website is
\\extranet\inetpub\wwwroot
(the name \\extranet may already point to your home directory on your site
then to run a focus report and park it there:
FILEDEF MYREPORT DISK \\extranet\inetpub\wwwroot\reports\carreport.htm
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYREPORT FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
...in a Windows world, that's it
Your designers who handle your extranet home page can include your carreport in a number of ways.
Make the host page a .asp page, not .htm
<TABLE>
<TR> <TD> SOME STUFF 
<TD>
<!-- #include file="reports/carreport.htm" -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>


remember if there are any images in your carreport, they have to be available to your extranet server as well.
