web viewer syntax

Reply Threaded

Hello Experts,

WinXp

FMPA10

What would be the correct syntax to specify in the web address to get the
web viewer to open a PDF file. Here is what I have:

The path to the folder holding the PDF documents is: D:\BCAA\ANTR OPS\ANTR
PDF\

the PDF document name resides in a field called “Regs::filename”

I can not get the syntax right to get the file to open in a web viewer.

This is what I have tried but obviously I am way out as it gives an error.

“file://D:\BCAA\ANTR OPS\ANTR PDF\ Regs::filename&.&pdf”

Can someone please help

Salman

First thing I'd check is the last part of your concatenation and
change it to:

“file://D:\BCAA\ANTR OPS\ANTR PDF\" & Regs::filename & ".pdf”

Let's try this one, Salman:

"“file://D:\BCAA\ANTR OPS\ANTR PDF\\" & Regs::filename &".pdf”
