How to display a saved PDF file NAV 3 tier

Votuc

hello,

I have code that saves a sales invoice to PDF. I need to then automatically display the PDF to the user. What can I use? HYPERLINK does not work as it looks for the file locally.

                  REPORT.SAVEASPDF(206, 'F:\InvoicePrinter\Invoices\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1',SalesInvHeader."No.")+'.pdf', SalesInvHeader);

I am using NAV 2009 SP1 - this needs to work from the RTC.

This post should be a good source of information: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nav/archive/201 ... g-box.aspx

Or to make it simpler save the file on a network share that is accessible from both client and service tier.

Hi Claus, yes I used your code examples to write my code. Thank you so much for writing that blog. What I wanted was to display the PDF invoice on the screen automatically in addition to the PDF attachment.

I think I have found a solution - a mapped network drive and then the HYPERLINK function brings it up.

so with code above...

                 HYPERLINK('Q:\Invoices\'+STRSUBSTNO('Invoice No. %1',SalesInvHeader."No.")+'.pdf');
