>After logging in the top frame is populated with a table of entries with each entry containing a hypertext link. This page is created by the COM server and sent back to the browser and is diaplayed in the top frame by default. When the user clicks a link in the top frame, a detail HTML page is created by the COM server and returned which is loaded into the bottom frame. The user can edit portions of this page and it can be submitted back to the COM server for updating the underlying data tables. Now, the output from the COM server on this call will be a detail HTML page which should be displayed in the bottom frame, which is no problem since it defaults to this. However, In some cases I would like automatically update the table of entries in the top frame also so I would like to direct this HTML output to the top frame. I.e. one call to the COM server resulting in an HTML page going to the bottom frame and an additional HTML page going to the top frame. I have found no way to do this

In the cases where you want to update the top frame, depending on when you know it, you do what I specified above. Let's say that a link in your detail page should refresh both frames... well, that link should point to a method in your com object that creates the Layout frame page with the correct calls to populate the two pages.

That being said, there is also a way with client side Java or VBScript to do it too. In the bottoms forms OnLoad() you can navigate to a URL with target of your top frame. But, I try to stay away from client side code.
