OK I have 2 Combo boxes chained together the first Date Period (monthly, Quarterly, Rolling 12) The second Period Ending Date. I have a fex that extracts the data from a table and saves it PCHOLD format XML. I've done the dynamic procedure and called the fex. When I execute the HTML page it loads the first box correctly. the second box it loads every other record. The XML file looks correct. I've attached the HTML below: Anyone ever seen this before. Or is it something to do with 7.6.7 which I have loaded as a localhost on my desktop for a temp project.

Duane,

The usual scenario for this is that you are only retrieving one field within the fex instead of two.

Use the form -
TABLE FILE filename
SUM FST.fieldname
 BY fieldname
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
and you shouldn't have too many problems.

Yes, Duane, Tony is right.
When you use a fex to populate your listboxes, you have to have exactly two fields in the result set. One is for the item value, the other for the item display. That way you can have codes for the values and descriptions for the display.
