Getting a form to initialize a webservice on opening.

Hi There,  I would like to know how it would be possible to  get a newly created form to connect to a web service and  retrieve data from it as soon as the PDF for is opened.  Im assuming a would use the doc Ready but do not know which code  will allow an automatic communication to happen without having to  click a button.  Thanks  Joey

You can hide (make it invisible) the web service submit button on the form and programmatically click it by using submitButtonName.execEvent("click").

Does submitButtonName.execEvent("click")  still go into the docReady for it to be automatic

or should I place it into Initialize?

Thanks
