I am maintaining an application in Powerbuilder 2021. The application previously constructed a script that was sent to the report server via IE to retrieve a report in pdf format. IE would prompt the user to either save or open the pdf file. We are getting away from IE. I am trying to use the webbrowser control to run the script but nothing happens. I use the Navigate function but nothing happens and I get no errors. I have looked through the documentation and have not found anything helpful. Is the webbrowser control the best way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Raymond;

   Did you use the WebBrowserSet command first to condition the WB Control before its use?

Correct ... the WebBrowserSet commands should be done before the WB is instantiated and then those setting are "in effect" for the life of the WB Control(s). Of course, you can close the WB Control, redo the WebBrowserSet commands and then open another WB control to take these changes into effect when it runs.

Did you set the "ProxyAuto=1" only so that the Chromium engine gets your proxy information from the machines current "Internet" settings?
