Dear sirs, on Item label I've a button that, on push, go to an specific route on my network to look for an pdf archive. This archive, has previously added to the Item label thought a route link.
Now I want to delete some pdf's from my network thought Navision following the marked route.
I've got erase only the route puttin OnPush from button the code:

IF ("Technical route" <> '') THEN
delete;

This instruction delete the route market from Navision to the pdf, but doesn't delete the pdf document. Does anybody know how can I delete a document that is in my network following a route?. Sorry if I haven't explained well.
Thanks in advance.

    how can you have technical route compiled if you've deleted the entire record (your previous instruction)? 
    IF ("Technical route" <> '') THEN
delete;

    what do you want to do?Delete the nav doc + the pdf doc in the path of tecnical route?if so use this code 
    If ("Technical route" <> '') then
  ERASE('path\filename.pdf');  //I think this is the "technical route" field
DELETE(TRUE);   //this will also delete the lines of the lines because of (TRUE), supposing you're using standard documents

    Thanks for reply. Sorry, but if i do that it tries to erase the whole Item label!! (I put the code in OnPush)

    In this code:
    ERASE('path\filename.pdf'); I put also ERASE("Technical route"); because is different in each Item label, I need it automatic; but, evenly, it doesn't work.
    Thanks for help.

    if you only want to blank the "Technical route", you just have to erase the file first, and blank the field after: 
    "technical route" := '';
modify(TRUE or FALSE)

    if you are a developer, you should really read some manuals before doing something; if you are a customer, ask your partner for some training. You must know modify and delete instructions as if they're your name!!

    just be really careful when you do modification, nav it's easy to program if you know it.
    For the same reason, it's easy to make big damages if you don't know it :wink:
