<< So I'm looking for an alternative. I tried printing to a PDF file with open_on. They can then minimize and go on their way within RBase. But if they run the menu option again it does not create a new PDF file if it is already open on their desktop. I don't want to change the name of the PDF file each time because then they'd have tons of them sitting around. >>
I think you probably _do_ want to change the name of the report each time. Among other things, if you reuse the same name it's not multi-user (or, at least, multi-session) safe. Two solutions are: 1. Put the temporary report into the windows temp directory (using FILENAME(0) to get the name) where Windows can delete it if necessary. 2. Storing the file name and creation date in a table in the database and including a startup routine that deletes all files more than X hours old. -- Larry
