RE: [RBASE-L] - ERASE filespec
Hi Javier! Apparently something has recently changed in the preview handling of pdf files. Either choice in the form worked flawlessly until just recently. I’ve read online that even though the file is closed by the user, the preview somehow keeps the file “in use”. Some of my users also have difficulties directly opening pdf files in Outlook365. I will continue to look for answers.

One option allows you to quickly view the document using the R:Base PDF browser and once you exit, the file is closed. The other option allows you to see the document using Acrobat Reader and it has a lot more option and allows you to keep the file open; however, when a file is open it cannot be deleted. I believe there is now a command that allows you to check if the file is open and if it is indeed open, you can display a message asking the user to close the file before it can be deleted. Hopefully this explains the use of the two buttons…as you know we can always do things in more than one way and it is nice for the user to have options.

Try “SET TRACE ON” right before your ERASE and then take a look at the

Don’t forget to “SET TRACE OFF” right after the ERASE

RE: [RBASE-L] - ERASE filespec
Claudine
Try “SET TRACE ON” right before your ERASE and then take a look at the
variable.
Don’t forget to “SET TRACE OFF” right after the ERASE

Subject: [RBASE-L] - ERASE filespec
Hello all,
I’m having a bit of a headache with an ERASE filespec command which has worked
reliably for weeks, works reliably from the R:> prompt and yields “Failed
deleting… (2262)” then “Cannot create destination file (2086)” from within a
form when I:
ERASE .filename2
And
COPY .filename1 .filename2
Permissions are ok… Undoubtedly my fault but I can’t find it, help!
TIA,
