Are there situations where you cannot chain controls together? I am having the darndest time chaining two controls (org name to state). I am referencing a master file that is joining two tables together. Is that an issue? The behavior I am experiencing is that selecting org name does not update the state.

Instead of masters, write a fex.
TABLE FILE thing
SUM ORGNAME STATENAME BY ORG BY STATE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
..
then use that fex as the 'Procedures' in both dropdowns, then highlight the 2 dropdown boxes in order, and click the chain icon. bingo. what you've got is called compound dropdowns, and it produces some javascript array that gets loaded into the browser, and doesn't have togo back to the server everytime the user clicks. pretty zippy. see if that works for you.
