Hi everyone,
Today users are trying to pull PDF reports and getting the following error in the browser => The Print procedure failed to create the PDF file [C:\CCS\web\reports\$$$70998.pdf]
I checked the report folder does exist. I runned the webserver on my local pc and it works fine.
and ideas? This is with Nettalk 7.25

Hi Willie,
The report folder exists, but presumably not the report.
Which makes me think the report is running, but not actually going so far as to generate the PDF.
there are a bunch of possible reasons - disk full and access rights being two - but possible also something missing from the server (like a printer defined maybe?). The only way to know for sure is to debug as you would any program - what I'd do is add trace statements to the report procedure so I could see in debugview where the code diverges from what I expect.
This is a normal Clarion report, creating a normal PDF file, so nothing special going on there - just debug as normal.
cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce,
All of the sudden its working again, and the engineer on the server said he received a mail from the ISP with a message of some problem on the "backbone". I now have to monitor it for a few days, but looks like it was ISP related.

I had something similar a few weeks ago.
For some reason one of my print routines was getting called and the temp file wasn't getting removed.
When I checked my temp folder on the server there were over 65000 temporary files in there. I cleared that folder down, and my reports started working again.
It might be worth checking.
Regards,
Neil.
