Hey there folks,

 

One of our clients is having a strange problem with our FoxPro system -
although its not specifically a problem with VFP - but rather with PDF
file creation. Although, the problem IS causing VFP to Crash and close
when the problem occurs. 

 

For any kind of report or printed output - the problem is occurring.
When they go to print something - if they chose to print to a printer
(or even select a print Preview option) - the problem does NOT occur.
However, if they choose to print to a PDF file - after they select WHERE
to save the PDF file, and after a brief period of time (as though the
PDF file processing is occurring in the background) - instead of
properly returning control BACK to VFP it Crashes! Each of the crashes
give an error saying it could not find a file - whether it's a DBF file
(which of course IS there) or some other file. It just seems that when
the location of the file is being selected - its as though the FoxPro
default path is being changed - and then it totally messes up FoxPro
upon return from the PDF creation. 

 

Additionally, as part of the testing that my Tech here was doing - he
even selected creating the file in the root folder of the VFP system on
our client's system - and that DID stop the problem from occurring. And,
yet, if I run one of our other clients systems locally here (and in each
case we are running an EXE compiled in VFP7 - as opposed to an APP file)
in its test folder - and I generate a PDF file (and specifically tell it
to save the PDF file to my local C: drive and not a location on the
server where the system resides) - I do NOT get this error. 

 

Needless to say - I can't recreate this error locally so I can look into
it a bit more  - as it ONLY happens directly on the clients site and our
Tech can recreate the problem when they remotely log on!

 

Hopefully someone has a clue - which hopefully will NOT require that I
do an extensive programming change across their system!

 

TIA,

Kurt
