Html link question

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding html links in either a form or a report - I
would like to link to either another form or report and pass a
parameter, but I would like to know if there is a way to open the item
on the server side through either a _sys.reports.run() or something or
anything instead of making lots of new ip calls to the server through
the link and opening up several new connex for each person. I have tried
to put a function into my html href, but they accept only client side
functions and _sys functions do not work there.  Any ideas on how to
accomplish this?  Thanks!

Wendi

To the best of my knowledge this is not possible. Sorry ... calling
another URL that has nothing to do with your IntraBuilder application
shouldn't impact the IntraBuilder server anyway ...

Thanks for trying Ken.  I am not calling outside outside urls, I am
calling the IB server from reports with html links to other reports with
more links all in the same app.  To narrow down requests without asking
the user to simply type something in b/c they always make spelling
errors. But, Oh well.  Thanks again.

Sorry -- I misread your message then.

Check the Inprise website, I believe in the IntraBuilder tech support
area are some FAQs and such, and one of them may cover what you're
looking for. It will probably have to do with sessions ...
