I agree with Rob. The default path is changing and you need to code for it.

It is changing the default path I think.

Preserve it before calling the print routine, and then restore the path
afterwards.

HTH,

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
