>>>Hi All
>>>
>>>I have an app that tries to load a PDF file into an IE control embedded within a form. I setup the complete path name to the file using:
>>>
>>>

>>>  TPDF_FILE = SYS(5) + SYS(2003) + "\adobe\" + ALLTRIM( lcFileName )
>>>

>>>
>>>Which gives, as an example, a file name like this;
>>>
>>>"C:\my_apps_folder_name\adobe\the_pdf_filename.pdf
>>>
>>>This normally works fine. But now at one client this returns the following for TPDF_FILE:
>>>
>>>"file://servername//my_apps_folder_name//adobe/the_pdf_filename.pdf"
>>>
>>>This then causes a failure in the IE control becuase it cannot find the pdf file to navigate to. How can I solve this so that I get the correct drive and path to my application folder that IE can use to navigate to?

>Asking for sys(5) + sys(2003) converts backslashes to double forward slashes. And the drive letter is converted to "file:" . Looks like UNC or something but I am not sure what I need to change in order for the path to the file to be correct for IE.

Strange in deed. Sorry, I have to run. I will follow this thread tonight.
