Mike
I am printing to a folder 'pdfdocs' located in sub folder
of my application
just as I always have, I do have acrobat 9, I am not sure
if it is full or
not. I must re-state that the file will print to printer
and screen . The
problem occurs when I check the 'print to file' option
and give the document
a filename.
the filename that is printed is 1kb and if an attempt is
made to open the
file . an error message appears that states
'There was an error this file is already open or in use
by another
application'. There are no files open.
There was also some mix up about the version of rbase
extreme used, In fact
I did go to the update to make sure that I am using the
current version and
build. I believe it is R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64), U.S.
Version,
Build: 9.0.3.10910. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Also I was wondering what is the meaning of <G>
I do appreciate all of the polite replies of those who
have been sincere in
helping me with this problem

Mike,
I use your code but with a different report obviously,
but it prints
perfectly.
I have acrobat 9 (full).
What version of acrobat is installed on the computer you
are using?
Also, the filesize is suspiciously small at 1k.
Are you printing to a directory where you have write
permission?

Razzak
While in Report Designer, are you able to [Preview] the
report?
preview works in designer
Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION SCREEN?
yes
Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION PRINTER?
yes
What is the exact syntax you are using, including the
OPTION for
|FILENAME"?
The command is
PRINT BID2FBTXT +
WHERE bidnum = .vbidnum OPTION SCREEN +
|WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED +
|ZOOM_TYPE PERCENTAGE +
|ZOOMPERCENT 100 +
|THEMENAME R:BASE ROCKS!
RETURN
From the screen I use the 'print to file option and give
it a
'filename.pdf

Mike,
A few questions ...
While in Report Designer, are you able to [Preview] the
report?
Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION SCREEN?
Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION PRINTER?
What is the exact syntax you are using, including the
OPTION for
"|FILENAME"?
Answering these simple questions may also provide you
with some
blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
P.S. I also recommend to use the updated builds of
R:BASE eXtreme.
