Alastair, Try setting your destination file in a variable like this; Set v vfile text= 'D:\Internet\Info\ItemValues.HTM' Your wsyntax would then look like this; PRINT .vReport &vWhere_Clause &vSort_Clause + OPTION HTML +
|FILENAME .vfile + |TITLE Record Collection Item Values + |INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON + |RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE IMAGE + |SEP_FILE_PER_PAGE OFF + |INCLUDE_LINES OFF + |PAGE_END_LINES OFF + |OPEN OFF This syntax works all the time for me. Hope this helps. Bill Eyring _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alastair Burr Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 5:56 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Report fails to print to file I have a report which I last printed successfully on 25/09/2010. I know because I have a number of backups and that is the last date for this report. I tried to run the same report again last week but no output file was produced. By a process of elimination the problem appears to be with the directory to which the file is delivered. If I allow the report by default to the database directory there is no problem. However, I know that the intended directory is correct because I have numerous backups of that structure containing earlier versions. Also, other reports appear in it as expected. The command file that runs the suite of reports that includes this problem one was last amended on 27/04/2009. The report design was last amended 08/12/2007 (but has been automatically converted - now running on latest v9.0/32). In effect, this works: PRINT .vReport &vWhere_Clause &vSort_Clause OPTION HTML |FILENAME ItemValues.HTM |TITLE Record Collection Item Values |INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON |RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE IMAGE |SEP_FILE_PER_PAGE OFF |INCLUDE_LINES OFF |PAGE_END_LINES OFF |OPEN OFF and this doesn't: PRINT .vReport &vWhere_Clause &vSort_Clause OPTION HTML |FILENAME D:\Internet\Info\ItemValues.HTM |TITLE Record Collection Item Values |INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON |RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE IMAGE |SEP_FILE_PER_PAGE OFF |INCLUDE_LINES OFF |PAGE_END_LINES OFF |OPEN OFF In both cases a new file "ItemValues.js" is now produced in the target directory but never appears in any of my backups (as far as I can tell) so it gets deleted somehow. Anybody got any thoughts on what might be driving me nuts? Regards, Alastair.
