Oops, I've misread. I took type-in as of type IN. Sorry.

There was a technique which basically hacked the PP original prompt page. After all it is just an HTML page prepopulated by PPES. So if you knew what values you will be providing, you could create such a prompt page yourself.

I can't find it. Sorry. I've went through multpile backup CDs and drives to no avail. Here is waht I'd recomend: set one of your PP reports for PDF with filters and grab the source code of the web page which comes up. You should be able to reverse engineer it.
