Hi All,
I've struck a strange problem from one of the NPrinting Server services that I monitor. I have a NPrinting Schedule and it starts a job in the morning at 7:15, 8:15 and 9:15. It generates a couple of xls files with a filename based on the manufacturer name, type of report, date and time. All works well but all of a sudden I received errors on the NPrinting schedule. So what it does it generates the xlsx files and places them into a temporary location:

That works, it does that with 30 recipients.
After generating all the temp files, NPrinting starts with the distribution. But at the first file it stops and generates a strange error. When i look at the error with Notepadd++ it shows 3 error NULLS?:

Gerald -
The invalid characters in path error was resolved in NPrinting 16.0 SR2.
I'd recommend upgrading to NPrinting 16.0 SR4 since it also makes an additional fix if there is an apostrophe in the output folder.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your answer.
Strange, it ran for the last 2 year without problems like these. Why do these problems all of sudden appear?
Does NPrinting 16 SR14 work with Qlikview 10?
Thank you for your answer,
Gerald
