The client uses "Attachmate Extra". But I'm thinking perhaps they need a mini-app or service sitting on each PC that responds to instructions over the network. It's possibly time for a shareware search - although how that'd work with a unix/universe server, I'm not too sure. :o)

For Accuterm you need to place something like the following in a Basic program to open IE: PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":"iexplore":CHAR(13): There are numerous ways to get reports to display in the browser. One easy way to start testing is to set up a file that can be accessible by both U2 and mapped to the user's PC. For example create a U2 file called "TEMP" that is pointing to a location that can be mapped to by the user PC. Map that location to the S:\temp directory. Write your U2 report to the TEMP file with a record name of FILE.NAME. Then un the command: PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":"iexplore S:\temp\":FILE.NAME:CHAR(13): This will load IE with the written data. Once your comfortable with this, you can explore tools like txt2html, txt2pdf, and the U2 print spooler. With these tools you can have a print queue automagically translate a print job into html or pdf and write them out to a file directory. mike - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of LeRoi Keiller Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 10:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to launch remote browser from UniVerse server? Hi I have a client (customer) who wishes to launch users' desktop browsers from a UniVerse server. 1/ How can this be done (actual instructions, if possible) So far, UniObjects has been mentioned and DDE - but, any other ideas. Or, what are the instructions to actually do this? 2/ Once the above is possible, how could a UniVerse report be displayed in the user's browser, for example?
