The & variable worked fine. I should have tried that to begin with!
Thanks,

In an EEP the following works fine.
Launch .vFile
where vFile = P:\Images\588.jpg
This brings up the graphic file fine in the viewer.
Drive G is a mapped network drive.
However, if I change vfile to :
<file://\\DellServer1\Public\Images\588.jpg>\\DellServer1\Public\Images\588.jpg
(which is the exact same as the mapped drive)
then the Launch .vFile command hangs Rbase.
My goal is to launch these external files without
having to map drive letters. Any thoughts?
Bob,
What version of R:BASE for Windows?
What happens when using the ampersand variable?
-- Example:
SET VAR vPathFileName TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vPathFileName = '\\DellServer1\Public\Images\588.jpg'
LAUNCH &vPathFileName
RETURN
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
