I have a really bad situation that I have fighting for over a week:
VFP6/sr5 nonGUI app that gets data from a SQL server, formats and prints a
report to a file.
Set up as a exe that will run on a robot server (CA Unicenter).
The first version is running fine every day - prints out three reports to
files then files are sent to appropriate printers.
This version adds two reports to the original app (also written by me).
I can get the reports file to print while running within Fox but running on
desktop will not print reports.
App will write a log file and the remote messaging shows a file being
written but no physical file. I have questioned the usual suspects: REPORT
FORM BNANORESP TO FILE (CFILENAME) NOCONSOLE
Cleared the memo fields on the reports, Set print to default ETC.
BTW = cfilename is format
cfilename="\serversharefoldernaronresp20030824.prn"
Older app runs OK but I cant get this one to fire a file. no errors no
messages no indication of any failures at all.
Note: older app writes file to default folder - so nopathing is involved.
The logfile writes Ok to same path.
cString = "log message'
cfile = "\serversharefolderlogfile.txt"
Strtofile(cString, cfile, .t.)
I know I have overlooked something obvious but we just can't seem to fine
what.
Remember - this does work running the exe from the command line but does not
work when clicking the exe in a test (empty) folder.
TIA
