I need to pass a parameter value to the html page (which I can successfully do); then chain another variable to it.

1) Pass the value of COUNTRY to an html page (countrycar.htm)
 -SET &COUNTRY = 'ENGLAND';
-RUN
-HTMLFORM countrycar.htm

2) HTML page displays the country appropriately

3) Then I want to chain variable country (edit1) to the car dropdown (combobox1) to list cars within that country. This is where I am having trouble. I have embedded the code to populate the car dropdown, but it is empty!

I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue!

Thanks!
Marilyn

I discovered that for IE, it is necessary (at least in our shop) to set compatibility view on. Then it works perfectly.
