Hi All, I have an html list box that i populate with say 5 digit customer numbers. I pass them to my report along with 11 other variables. My report displays fine and on my report I have a drilldown on one column thats gives the user 2 tabs to pick from. Now the issue. When I enter 9 5 digit customer numbers in the list box and go to the drill down in my report it works fine. If i enter a 10th customer and go the the drilldown when i click on the link it will not show me the tabs. Does anyone have any idea what is going on.

It's been a while since I have done this, but I think there is a limit to the total number of characters you can pass. Try shortening your fieldnames and see if you can pass one more value.

All the field-name variables and their values get padded together to build a long string for the drilldown call.
Cannot remember right off top, but there is certainly a limit to the length of this string. Minimize field-name lengths and even code/decode values if possible.
If the "newlist" string will be of extremely long lengths, I would suggest writing it out to some file/database and read it back in the next program.
You could also device a mechanism to re-generate the "newlist" from scratch by passing enough info to the subsequent fex and re-running the logic.
Generally speaking, passing extremely long strings is not good for effeciency and security.
