I have taken webserver example #2 and am working from it.  The menu extension, I added several menu items - 3 work great - the 4th does not.  All 4 call procedures that are listed there in the app tree


" Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.  "

I have looked at each of the 3 that work and the 1 that doesnt and I would swear there is no difference - but obviously there is something causing this problem. 

Any tips on what to look for on a problem with calling a procedure?

Thanks in advance

Check the page name (not procedure name) on the template for the one that does not work

Kevin, you mean the name that you enter in the URL prompt. Thats where the procedure name goes that is to be called upon that menu item being selected.

Cut & Paste the URL from the 4th menu option here.

And tell us more about that procedure - is it a browse, form, page, source or what?

Cheers

This was cut and pasted from the URL line

'loginform'

And I am calling a form.  

btw, I am a newbie to NT5 - been a programmer since '71'.

The problem has been resolved - I dont understand this but I found that if I call this procedure anything but LoginForm,  no problem.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Hi Donnie,

There's nothing special about the LoginForm name.
I think to answer your question accurately you need to post the app here so someone can take a look.
Or email it to me directly if it's private.

cheers
