Hi 
I'm trying to open an external file, either a .pdf or .doc programmatically from VB. It seems that VB gets confused when there is a space character in the filename or path string.
The following works perfectly:
Process.Start ("acrord32", "C:\Manuals\UserManual.pdf")
and also
Process.Start ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\acrord32 " , "C:\Manuals\UserManual.pdf")
However, the following gives an error message that it cannot find the file.
Process.Start ("acrord32", "C:\Manuals\User Manual.pdf")
I've experimented a bit with multiple scenarios, including trying to open a file in word. It seems that VB accepts a path with a space character in starting a process (e.g. Adobe Reader), however it gets confused when sending the path and filename of the external file to open. In particular, when trying to open a word file, the filename is truncated at the point of the space character, e.g. the "User Manual.doc" becomes "User.doc". I've tried multiple walkarounds such as using %20, [ ], _11, etc without effect.
Any help appreciated...

Try double quoting the file name. The quotes in your code are not passed on, so you end up with C:\Manuals\User Manual.pdf rather than "C:\Manuals\User Manual.pdf" - if you see what I mean.
Hope this helps

I've tried double-quoting but doesn't work in VB.
I've solved my problem with the following reply. But thanks for the interest...

Meaning that you don't know how to do it... 
Process.Start ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\acrord32 " , """C:\Manuals\UserManual.pdf""")
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

That was what I was trying to explain - obviously not very well!

For opening .pdf or .doc file you do not need to specify any application name, as your system should be able to automatically detect application which is registered to open these file types.
Use of a simple line as following will work for you –
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Manuals\User Manual.pdf")
Note that above mentioned syntax will work even if file name has got spaces within it.

Dear All,
Which is the best tool to develop an CHM model help program, which will take data from a backend database and display in a manner like history of business discussion among a group of personnels.
there should be some display picture for each personnel and their comment would be come as text, each personnels comment will be separated by some lines.
you could do the same using a picture box, or datagridview, or by a richtext box. but i'm bit confused which one would be the best or any other control is available in Vb.Net ?
your suggestions are appericable

OK - then why are you trying to generate one ? I'm not even sure what you're using, but I am pretty sure that cmd_fee is supposed to have a data field called SECTION, and it does not.

Within Datasource(whether it is a dataset or datatable or something other), which is supplied to Report, Does not contains this field . Check the query from which you get the Result.

hi,
First of all check all the fields which you place on Report at design time. At run time, check whether all fields which is placed on report at design time,is present in data source ?
Can you post the code-Snippet so i can analysis properly which statement can cause error ?

How can I mass deploy our windows application (that adds information to our database) if there is no ODBC Driver on our clients PC? any suggestion on this? our database server is FileMaker(sucks!)
P.S. we have several clients all over the globe and we cannot just have them install an ODBC Driver.
In short how to have DSN less connection to FileMaker Database?

Why don't you add the ODBC driver setup to you own deployment?
|
|
|
|
|
yes i can do that but then i have to manually configure it one by one for the file DSN and like i said, this application will be deployed on several locations around the globe. if anybody can suggest away to create a DSN-less connection for filemaker 8, id appreciate that.
|
|
|
|

You simply have no alternative. Either the FileMake ODBC drivers are installed or you're not getting a connection to the database. It's that simple.
As for a DSN-less connection, you just have to get the connection string correct. You can find an example of connecting to a FileMaker server here[^]. No DSN required.

I am planning to actually include the ODBC Installer in our package but encountered another problem, we are using FileMaker 8.5 and I have read from "www.filemaker.com/downloads/documentation/fm8_converting_databases.pdf" that 'The Local Data Access Companion (LDAC) and the Remote Data Access Companion (RDAC) are no longer supported.' in, i think, versions lower than Filemaker 7. Any other suggestions?

Yeah. Upgrade to a database engine that IS supported, like SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL (free).
|
|
|
|

yeah, in as much as i want to rant about the capabilities of Filemaker and rant( ) about our management for picking that DB engine, i guess changing my back end will be a nice solution. hehe
Thanks!
