RE: [xsl] accessing info outside current context

["Pekarek, Rose (MN10)" <rose dot pekarek at honeywell dot com>]

Jeni,

The document function chokes on the url below because it is expecting the
url to point to a file (I think).  The first part of the url,
http://hbcora59/psr/Viewer is a call to the discoverer server, and the
result is an xml document, but somehow this isn't good enough for the
document command.  I changed my approach by integrating a .xsql file that
queries a workbook access table.  It works now!

Thanks for your help.

Rose

Hi Rose,

The document() function always takes a URL, it's just that sometimes
URLs look like directory paths. So doing:

 
document('http://hbcora59/psr/Viewer?_but=Connect&db=dwbspt11&nlsl=en-us&in=
dwb&_in=dwb&lc=false&us=rpekarek&fm=xml&ac=rpekarek')

will work just fine.

Cheers,

Jeni
