I am unable to determine why saving as a pdf on FMP 8.5 over the network makes the application shut down almost every time. I have never run into this problem with FMP 8.0 running the same script and files on the same network. The network environment consists of 2 dedicated servers: One acts as a domain and file server and the other as FMS 7v4. 10 users on network w/ XP computers. All print jobs are saved on file server on a shared “print job folder” to archive documents printed.

Interface.fp7 starts the script and sends to Forms.fp7 (where all forms are held) below are key parts of the script. The Error Occurs at Step 3 below. This only happens on FMP/FMA 8.5 but never on 8.0.

1. SetVariable($$document_path)=

Let(

[

file_name = Substitute (_N::PDF_NAME; ".pdf" ; "" )&".pdf";

docs_path =SETUP::LOCATION_PRINTJOBS;

full_path = docs_path & file_name;

win_path = """ & Right( full_path; Length( full_path ) - 1 ) & """

];

full_path

)

2. Print Setup [Restore;No dialog]

3. Save Records As Pdf =

filewin:$$document_path

I have tried to save on local machine with 8.5 and find that the issue happens less often but still occurs.
