Is there a way to select PDF files into the PDF viewer (and in
particular the PDF Viewer Control Form) by variable names? All the PDF
viewers seems to require an actual file name. Any var name (.vFileName)
comes back as file does not exist.
So far : Creating the PDF - works great. Storing PDF in a directory and
placing the file name in a record - works. Using loadfilename.rbl to
searching the directory and pick a file - works but gives the users too
many decisions and options to pick the wrong files, based on early feedback.
My preference is to use a scroll to list the PDF file names assigned to
John along with some other info. User selects File2, the file name is
assigned to .vFileName. That works now. The next part is eluding me:
Have the Viewer Control Form use .vFileName to open the selected PDF
file so it can be checked and printed. The PDF Viewer Control Form is
simple and only allows view and print. I am close but after trying all
types of options, it's not quite there. Any suggestions appreciated.
