I suggest using a frameset as the target of the order number link. So you
have your original frameset with the order number list plus the second
frameset. Within that second frameset, have a frame with a PH Web page that
shows the header information and a second frame with a page that shows the
order line information (presumably on a report page).

In the next release we'll have a couple of things that will help. First
we'll have support for DETAIL files, so you'll be able to do the header and
detail information on a single page. Second, we'll provide support for
calling any URL from a LINKSCREEN or DEFER LINKSCREEN so you'll be able to
put together your own call.

Hello All, 

I have a three frame web page, the first frame is a column down the left
with a list of order numbers, when  an order number is selected I want to
populate the two other frames on the right (one is on top of the other).

In the top frame I want the order header information, which is working fine,
but to populate the order lines, you would expect to put a 'defer
linkscreen' statement in the postfind procedure. The problem with this is
you can't set the target (to the bottom frame) in a defer linkscreen
statement. This results in the top frame being overwritten with the lines
data.

Anyone any ideas ?
