Try using the File virtual table, (declare a variable of type record and Subtype File) Here’s a snippet of code which should give you a feel on how to use it : FILTERGROUP(2); SETRANGE(Path, YourPathField); SETRANGE(IsaFile, FALSE); // Filter on Folders only (no file!) SETFILTER(Name, ‘<>%1&<>%2’, ‘.’, ‘…’); IF NOT FIND(’-’) THEN ERROR(’%1 is not a valid path’, YourPathField); FILTERGROUP(0); I hope I’ve not misunderstood what you’re trying to achieve. tarek_demiati@ureach.com
Many thanks, Now a have one problem more. I want to start a doc, dot, xls file from Navision. Can i solve this without automation controll? ------------------ Best regards Alejandro Schubert CYCOS AG System Engineer www.cycos.com www.dolphinct.de EMail: Alejandro.Schubert@cycos.com
You can use HYPERLINK(Document.doc) to open any document.
Sorry, but i think that doesn’t word ? If i want to open a Word Document abc.doc, the Internet explore will open and can’t display the document. ------------------ Best regards Alejandro Schubert CYCOS AG System Engineer www.cycos.com www.dolphinct.de EMail: Alejandro.Schubert@cycos.com
In this case you have a wrong file assignment for the extension “.DOC”. the HYPERLINK command does the same as starting a file with double-click in the explorer. Simply make sure that WinWord is your default program for managing .doc files. ------- With best regards from Switzerland Marcus Fabian
Okay, But if i have a file on the server, like: \194.77.xx.xx\safe\test.doc only the windows explore will open 
If i use c:\text.dot it works !!! But i need the first case… ------------------ Best regards Alejandro Schubert CYCOS AG System Engineer www.cycos.com www.dolphinct.de EMail: Alejandro.Schubert@cycos.com Edited by - Alex on 2001 Jun 19 11:41:51
Dear, Alejandro Schubert You have to map network drive for adress “\194.77.xx.xx” as “N” then try “N:\safe\test.doc” With regards, Maris
Oh, thanks. I hoped to get a work arroound for this problem to map a drive letter. But thanks a lot. ------------------ Best regards Alejandro Schubert CYCOS AG System Engineer www.cycos.com www.dolphinct.de EMail: Alejandro.Schubert@cycos.com
