What works on C:\RBTI is:
SET VAR vCurrDir TEXT = ((CVAL('CurrDir'))+'\PDFs\')
SET VAR vRep TEXT = 'MHA'
SET VAR vRepTitle TEXT =
((CTXT(.vZID))+'_'+.vRep+'_'+.vStDate+'_'+.vStTime+'.PDF')
SET VAR vFileName TEXT = (.vCurrDir + .vRepTitle)
PRINT Mental_Health_Assemment WHERE ZID = (.vZID) +
OPTION PDF +
|FILENAME .vFileName +
edited 20 lines out
|OPEN OFF
Once the PDF is done the user can review it, decide to keep it, print
and send to storage.
Under HIPPA rules I have to limit who has access and who can write
reports.

Do you speicify the path when writing the report/pdf . For example do
you
PRINT reportName .....FILENAME C:\RBTI \pdfileFolder\filename.pdf
Or
PRINT reportName .... FILENAME pdfileFolder\filename.pdf
I would suggest to write the pdf to everyone's local temp folder and
then copy (rename it when doing the copy) it to the network. This will
prevent someone over writing another person's file. I create a lot of
PDFs that are stored on the network.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - PDF files on Network
Our database creates PDFs of reports, stores them to a sub, records the
location, and has a retrieve/print form. This process is used in 8
report buttons and works very well on a single PC. When I move the
database from C:\RBTI to a network server (Y:\ECC), the entire database
program runs fine but the PDFs do not get built. File names go to a PDF
name table, and a 1kb file with the correct name goes to the
subdirectory (Y:\ECC\PDFs) but the PDF file is empty. Move the same
database back to (C:\RBTI) and everything runs correctly again. All I
can think of is I am missing a network naming structure. Using
(cval('currdir') to get the correct directory regardless of which
computer I go to. The inability to create the PDF on the network has got
me stumped. Using latest v8 and v9.
