[SOLVED] Where Did The 'External Procedure' Option For Parameter Population Go In AS

I am trying to populate my drop downs for an HTML page in Application Studio 8.0.09. The documentation shows External Procedure as an option, but it does not appear when I use HTML Composer in AS 8.0.09. I use external procedures in Developer Studio 7.7.05 to populate drop downs all the time. Any idea where 'External Procedures' went in Application Studio? Any ideas on work-arounds? I may be able to use an XML file directly.

Step 1 (add *.fex so you can select it later)
1. Requests & Data sources:
2. New / External Requests / WebFOUCS Procedure

Step 2 (attach to dropdown)
3. Select your dropdown.
3. Settings Tab
4. Dynamic / Explicit (Requests Panel) / Pick your *.fex from the "Request" dropdown.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. That was the route I thought I would have to take. So far it is not working. I will play around with the fexes and see if they are the problem. They are outputting to XML in the same manner I use in 7.7.05.

After much head scratching, last night I realized the external procedures I wrote to populate my controls were using 'ON TABLE HOLD AS XML' rather than 'ON TABLE PCHOLD AS XML'. That solved the problem.
