Perhaps (or perhaps not) an would be option to use the JSR-168 capability of AR System which would give you the ability to display a form as a portlet. While not really a "form within a form", it could enable you to create a portal that shows multiple forms at the same time... 14-Oct-2006 Displaying an AR System Form in a Portlet PDF <http://www.bmc.com/supportu/documents/56/86/65686/65686.pdf> This one is definitely web based - which you said you didn't want... but just throwing out ideas in case it sparks some other solution for you. -David J.

It would be nice if the data visualization control allowed a form view to be selected. That would solve my problem without me learning a new program language so I can display Remedy info in Remedy, in a format that I need to. BTW, the purpose of this is that the user has to load form, select, load form, etc to go around the workflow, data trail. OR, I have to build customized views for each combination. If I could load a form with in a DV control, or likewise, I can have them click, and load all within one form, streamlining customizations and user experience. I guess Frames within a web page is the best analogy I can make.

DFV's require a Mid-Tier. :( Ref: Integrating-710.pdf pg114. " Mid Tier-based graphing solutions. It provides an efficient way to add graphical elements (such as flashboards) to AR System forms. This field provides the following benefits: " Sorry... I guess that idea is not an option for you. One advantage to the DVF's is that they have the users "credentials" available to them. So I would hope that you could find a way to pass that to the Mid-Tier to get the form (HTML/Javascript/CSS/etc..) and pass that back to the ARS client for the run time user. But it would require a Mid-Tier.
