Thanks for the reply's. This will be our first time using it and I was hoping to use it only to display a tracker from a hyperlink. Data Entry through a browser with as many tabs and forms that would be coded is bound to have some stability issues. I have a custom web application that cubes a lot of data from Epicor to help identify trends. Right now it allows our users to drill down to the quote level but shows a limited amount of data. Part Info, Customer, Orders, Invoices, Comments, etc. However, if I can have a hyperlink that would allow them to click and launch just the Opp/Quote Tracker and get more detail that might save a step or two and more importantly, time. Regarding EWA being the single worst piece of code ever written. Is there some particular issue that is driving that statement or some major gotcha? --- In vantage@yahoogroups.com, <englertj@...> wrote: Hahahahahahah! We dumped it too.

Have you tried seeing if when you manually open EWA if it passes a URL
parameter?
My other suggestion would be just don't use EWA its the single most
horrible piece of code that Epicor has ever produced so much so they
themselves don't even recommend it. The new stuff in the next version
they've completely re-done the EWA and works much better (per the info I
got at Insights)
