Perhaps this method can't work from a DA request/context?What's the stack trace?Obviously I can parse the DA request, dig out the WOPopUpButton selections and pass them to the page myself and set the popup selections, but it strikes me that there ought to be an easy way.There's lots of ways to do things. with regards, -- Lachlan Deck
I'd just like to add that David LeBer has a *great* series of articles on direct actions. If you haven't seen them already, you can find them here:
http://davidleber.net/?cat=14Reading his page really cleared up a lot of confusion for me and also clued me into some cool tricks like ?key bindings. He did a couple of podcasts demonstrating a few of those techniques as well.
