If you are on ARS v7.1 or later I would use the Service action (of the Active 
Link) instead of pushing to a Display Only form.  The Service action allows you 
to map both the inbound and outbound fields just like you do for window open of 
a popup form.

You then change your filter type from submit to service.

Subject: Handling return text from a web service

** 
Hello
 
I have created an active link on a regular form which pushes fields to a 
display only form when a button is clicked.
 
A filter on submit on the display only form then calls a web service.
 
This is all working fine.  I have mapped the responses from calling the web 
service to fields in the display only form.  But of course the user who clicked 
the button to invoke the action cannot 'see' any response from the web 
service.  How would I take the response text posted into a field in the display 
only form back up to a field in the 'calling' form?
 
Or is there another way to do this?
 
Angus
