All the launch pages I have created or seen created require the user to click a button to pass parameters and execute the hyperlinked procedure(s). I have created a small procedure with a single variable prompt for Month. I'd like to have the Month Name on my launch page as a drop down control but have the procedure update immediately upon selection of the Month of the dropdown as opposed to making the user select Month and then also select Run. I looked at the HTML that is associated with the button(onclick) and tried applying this to the dropdown(onclick) action but could not mimic the behavior of the button. Is this possible? I understand that if you have multiple selections it makes more sense to have the user select all their parms and then submit but I would think for something with a single parameter it would be easier for the end user to just have the execute occur upon selection of the value.

I paint walls with a gallon of paint and a roller, I use no new-fangled tools.
