Don't know how MS Access works, but you might be able to construct a URL that will do this.

Access use the same VBA set that Excel does. You will likely have to create a module or macro in Access to do what you want.

You should be able to create a URL that points to your Web FOCUS servlet (normally in ibi_apps/WFServlet - you may need to qualify where ibi_apps lives). To thsi servlet, pass the reporting server name (or take the default), the focexec name (provided it is in a folder/directory in the app path), and any parameters that the focexec needs. That should do it.

sUrl = "/ibi_apps/WFServlet? IBIF_ex=car.fex &IBIAPP_APP=foldername &IBIC_server=BIWC01 "


FollowHyperlink sUrl
End Sub

Srini,

Firstly try to understand how the url will function and where you have to direct it. Then you might be able to get your requirement working.

As a hint, What webserver are you expecting to hit?
