Tom Have you tried using UNC since it should be the same if you are local or off-site.
Buddy From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Frederick Sent: Monday, January 07, 2013 6:05 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Creating PDFs from off site location. Our network has added an off-site location about 2 miles away. Using compiled v95, a VPN connection, and a terminal server. The database remains on Drive Y on our in-house server and I thought all the processing actually occurs there. Nothing goes to each computer except screen shots. Response is pretty good. Reports all follow the same process : complete data, create PDF, check/store it, then print it. Works every day at our in-house network. Going off-site we can't get the PDF file back to our Network Drive Y for storage: 1. Here is my code to create the file name: SET VAR vCurrDir TEXT = ((CVAL('CurrDir'))+'\PDFs\') SET VAR vStDate TEXT = (sstrip(((CTXT(.#DATE))),'/')) SET VAR vStTime TEXT = (sstrip(((CTXT(.#TIME))),':')) SET VAR vDateTime TEXT = (.vStDate+'_'+.vStTime) SET VAR vRep TEXT = ReportName SET VAR vRepTitle TEXT = ((CTXT(.vZID))+'_'+.vRep+'_'+.vDateTime+'.PDF') SET VAR vFileName TEXT = (.vCurrDir + .vRepTitle) >From here it goes through a standard PDF process stored in a table and driven by variables adjusted for each report. On the Network, CurrDir is 'Y:' while on my development machines CurrDir is 'C:'. There is no C:\PDFs\ directory on the off-site computer. Normally the process creates a PDF on 'vCurrDir' and the user can decide to keep it or erase it. How can I make sure off-site '.vCurrDir' returns to server 'Y:\PDFs\? Is there something special about VPN connection terminology we are missing?
