I have to open the PDF document based on the User selection
If I select Customer 123450 and I have stored customer file 123450.PDF in the shared drive
Created new button and Using Launch
application -I have pointed the file to open the adobe reader.exe
Parameter -calling the variable $(vCustomer)
Variable vCustomer has the value of 123450
when I hit the button Adobe reader is opening - I am getting error message
"There was an error opening this document .This file cannot be found"
Advance Thanks for help
It sounds like you are not creating a complete pathname to the document in the parameter field. Put your parameter in a textobject to see if the substitution of vCustomer makes a complete filename.
I usually find it easiest to just put the filename in the Application field and rely on the .pdf file association to open Reader.

Rob hope you can help,
I'm trying to open a pdf document which is stored on the server via the QV html plugin.
I'm using a button with the Lauch/Export option
Application = AcroRd32.exe
Parameters = path and pdf filename
This works fine in developer, but via IE, QV is looking for the pdf file on the users' local drive.
Any suggestions on how I could get QV or Adobe to look at the file on the server
Specify the path to the PDF file using UNC syntax.
\\ServerName\ShareName\dir\myfile.pdf
That should work for both developer and server.
