As far as I know there's no function to pass data back.
Here's how you might (partially) work around this. Assume you want to
pass back a number, e.g. "530922".
- Create several Active Link Guides, e.g.
Guide:SetField_0
Guide:SetField_1
Guide:SetField_2
....
- Each one of these guides should contain a single Active Link which
appends a single digit to the content of a charcter field:
Guide:SetField_0 appends "0"
Guide:SetField_1 appends "1"
....
- In the HTML page, implement a Javascript Function that splits "530922"
into "5", "3", "0", "9", "2", "2" and loops over that list, calling the
corresponding guides via arInvokeGuide().
Of course this is only viable if the string to pass back is rather short
and the set of possible characters is small.
This becomes much easier in ARS 7.0, where it's possible to send an
event from the view field to the user tool with a single function call.

for drill downs, etc. For a reference of js the functions available
from within view fields, see ar_wut.js located in the aruser/lib
directory. There may be a function that will allow you to pass data
back, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
arInvokeGuide(server, guide)

Frank,
Upgrade to v7.1 and use a Data Visualization Field. ( It is designed
to do what you are after... and then some.)
However.. in v6.3... the only thing I can think of (that would work on
the User Tool and the Mid-Tier) would be to have the process be more
like this...
a) Build HTML table.
b) User clicks on table and the HTML makes calls to a back end DB to
submit a record.
(-- think ajax/javascript post...etc..)
c) User then clicks on an "ARS button" (not in the html field) and
Active links look at an ARS view form that is pointed at the results
submitted by the HTML link click. Then does the right thing.
If you could deal with a solution only for the Mid-Tier then in v6.3
you might be fancy enough to work out a Javascript solution to avoid
step c for the user. But I do not know how to do it with the User
Tool.
HTH.
