Push button code to open another directory on the server?! 2

[Triedit]

Help, I'm trying to open another directory on the server (containing PDF files) so that users can view documents saved there. The code behind the button is:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
Execute("G:\\\\Dell_server\\green\\OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTS\\Quality Assurance Manual&quot
endMethod

BUT, I keep getting the following error message;

Error occurred trying to execute the specified program...

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Triedit,

I think you'll want to add

explorer

to the front of the line you're trying to execute. For example:

Execute( "explorer G:\\\\Dell_server\\green\\" + 
                   OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTS\\Quality " +  
                   Assurance Manual" )

Hope this helps...

Lances sugestion is probably the easiest but you can also specify the acrobat reader specifically such as:

execute("C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat 5.0\\Reader\\acrord32.exe G:\\\\Dell_server\\green\\OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTS\\Quality Assurance Manual.pdf&quot

I like Lances method better because you don't need to specifically know where acrobat is installed.

Triedit,

I'm also a little puzzled by your path, you specify a drive letter followed by the server, depending on your environment this may not be correct. If you get a path error try leaving off the drive letter or the server.

Thanks guys, I finally did it with:

method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
execute("explorer G:\\OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTS\\Quality Assurance Manual\\Procedure Manual\\Procedure Manual.pdf&quot


endMethod
