Hi! Me to have that problem with not beeing able to create pdf files directly out of rbase 9. So I made a workaround by using an external pdf writer.
See my code here: ---This code works LBLPRINT biljetterna ORDER BY sortorder,bokdag OPTION + PRINTER|PRINTER_NAME CutePDF Writer|DOCUMENT_NAME flyby_ticket RETURN ---This code does not work !!!!! LBLPRINT biljetterna ORDER BY sortorder,bokdag + OPTION PDF + |FILENAME c:\teater\fly_by_ticket2.PDF + |OPEN ON RETURN I assume rbase has a inbuilt pdf writer and that, it, for some reason can not finish the printing process. Rbase does print the labelpages because I can see the pagenumbers flyby in the dialogbox. I work on a MacBook pro with bootcamp and windows xp on the bootcamp partition. My version of rbase 9 is 90110511. Regards Christian > Moved from v8 to v9. Everything seems to be going OK until reports are > run.
