I'm not sure this is possible but I hope someone out there has done it before and can help me out. I have a fex that runs address labels to a csv output and another fex that does the same thing but to pdf output. I currently have two launch pages, one for each fex. I want to have one launch page that will run the csv and then the pdf. Oh and in between there is an html form that displays a message that the csv file has been created. If I run the csv and then the form displays with the csv message, how do I get it to then clear the report and display the pdf output. This needs to be done with one submit button click. Thanks for any help.

option 1. Add a button to the form that runs the PDF, not one click as it requires a user to click it.
option 2. Add an onOpen function to automatically submits the PDF request.
Use javascript to keep the CSV created message on the calling page.

I thought about adding a button, but really wanted it to just "magically" happen. I'm not sure how to do the onOpen function. Is this an ibirls function? Or something I would code? If so, is there a way to delay the running of the PDF fex so the csv message can be read then continue on to display the pdf?

Sorry I meant onLoad.

Here is an example. it waits 5 seconds then runs the report

 
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DCOST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS CSVFILE FORMAT COM
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
  <head> 
  </head>  <body onload="window.setTimeout('document.form1.submit()',5000);">
  <FORM  NAME=form1 ACTION="/ibi_apps/WFServlet" METHOD="POST",target="_blank"  >
  <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="IBIF_ex" VALUE="CARINST">
CSV Created
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

JG, I couldn't get this to work. Every time I added the onload in the body, my page was stuck in the "loading pleas wait" splash. But I figured out a work around where it runs the csv report, I just display an alert msg(instead of html form csv msg) then it runs/displays the PDF report. Works. Thanks for the help.
