You need an & variable to populate.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
IF CAR EQ &CAR
END

Once you have that...edit your fex in resource layout...and it should help you with the DropDown box.

Do some searches on & amper variables for guidance.

You haven't specified what release you are working in.
This information is from the R713 manual.

You have the option to allow customized retrieval of dynamic parameter values. By using a
custom procedure, you can use the FOCUS language to utilize temporary HOLD files,
filtering, etc. This allows the HTML Layout Painter to better integrate with a multitude of
large and/or proprietary data sources that may require unique retrieval methods. The
procedure must meet the following criteria:
❏ The procedure must return a name and value pair for each parameter value that will
populate the list. The first value is the submission value which is passed to the form
control when the user clicks the Submit button. The second value is the display value
which is what the user will see in the control. These two values can be the same or
different.
❏ The procedure must return the two data values on a single data line in XML format
(PCHOLD FORMAT XML).
