On Page 7 of a form there is a web area which displays information and help about the selected table. When this page is selected, a text variable is filled with html and displayed in the web area with:
WA SET PAGE CONTENT(WebAreaHelp;$HTML;"file:///") After a new window has been opened, this does not work the first time it is called: you just get an empty web area. Any subsequent calls - it works. The process is exactly the same. The html variable is exactly the same. I guess the area gets initialised in some way when the page is displayed for the first time. But what, and how do I force this to happen before the page is displayed?
