I can only speak about my experience on a Mac and with AppleScript, but
I'm sure FM has an equivilant script command. In AppleScript you can
use the command "path to xxx from yyy domain" where xxx is a symbolic
name, "Desktop" or "Preferences" and yyy is a domain name either,
"user" or "system". This will allow you to get the path to a users
desktop regardless of what computer or user is running the program.

Hi Harry
I understand the question; the PDF file is stored on a file server with
access to all on the internal network. How can you specify anything
other
than a fixed file name in the print/save dialogue?

OK Rob, thanks for the feedback.......
Have you hard coded the 'save as' path in the print dialogue ?
It may be that it fails because of this as the path saved differs on
each of the other machines

Hi Harry
Coming from an OS9/FM4 onwards background I had already thought of
that,
Both Server and Client have cache memory set to 32MB; upping it to
64MB on
the failing machine has no effect. The failing script step appears to
be the
print/save as PDF one.

Hi Rob,
Running peer to peer networking may be suffering from minimal cache
settings on the client which is hosting the V7 file(s) - the default
is
usually 8mb !
Check under preferences on both the host and the clients and try
upping
the cache on these machines and see if this helps

Hi
Do not understand the following: we are networking FM7.0.3 (not
server)
hosted on OSX Server 10.2.8, accessed by FM7.0.3 clients running
under
OSX
10.3.8. Once a user has entered data into a purchase order layout,
they run
a script which -
creates a PDF using OSX Save as PDF in print dialogue
emails the PDF to the supplier using the Send Mail command and
Entourage X
This works fine on my Mac but not on the Mac next to me. They get a
message
saying "Not enough memory to complete this command". No PDF is
saved
but the
email is sent. The Mac in question has 768MB of memory and is not
running
many applications.
Does anybody have any idea what is causing this memory message and
how
I can
cure it?
