If you have an ASPX page that has an appropriate form that points to a WebFOCUS servlet, I cannot see a problem.

Display the page, it should have all the parameters needed by WebFOCUS, and submit the form.

Unless I am missing something obvious, as I am not an ASP person.

yes, Santhu
i do this all day long every day.
my aspx pages are on a win2k3 server, running IIS, in its inetpub/wwwroot.
Do you have MRE?
If so, right click on a fex that has one or two parms, and click 'Publish'.
That will produce a launch page... (most of which you can nuke) but will produce FORM and all the
<INPUT type=hidden..>
tags (down near its bottom) that you need to build a lovely launch page, savable as a .aspx page under inetpub/wwwroot for IIS to run.
You can then open it in MS Expressions or your favorite aspx editor and edit as you wish.
If you are intending to run an .aspx page in mre or dashboard, i wish you could, but as far as i know, we can't. alas. Althought i did hear at Summit 2 yrs ago that one person in one of the dashboard lab sessions said he had gotten .asp pages to run from mre. i just don't know how he did it.
Edit your signature please to tell us your platform.
