Using RRWRun.exe from the shell command with maxwindowfocus in VB6 some reports display and other do not? Why? I have data and each reports runs in the designer. Also am using a control dbf.____Vic

Could be many things. What happens if you execute RRWRUN.EXE from windows explorer and then select the report? Does it run? What values are you setting in your control file?____Kathleen__R&R Support

I can run any report out to the screen on my development machine but not on some computers on our network. This leads me to beleive it is something with the individual computer. Maybe a registry entry or ini file left over from the R&R ReportWriter version 8 installation. What do you think? Vic

What should the association be? When I open the RRWRUN.exe and then pick a report the report may or may not come up in preview mode but the common dialog for picking the .RRW reports stays open which I have to say is unusual behavior. It should close after I pick a report file to preview in the runtime version (rrw viewer). And what is wrong with the above vb6 shell call, if anything. Do I need quotes around something? It is the same line I have always used (4+ years running) but sometimes a good report previews and sometimes not. Vic __

When I run this __?Shell("C:PROGRA~1REPORT~1RRWRun.EXE", vbMaximizedFocus)__in the intermediate window then pass this__\pcmiC$cms95IARPP06RRWCMS.DBF__as the library I get RR Error "Can not open library". Can this be explained?
