Directory name and RRWRUN.exe in XP

Post by GSL » Fri Jun 06, 2003 3:25 pm

We recently upgraded from Win 98 to XP. We have a custom VB app to run RRWRUN.exe using control table. It was working in Win 98 but in XP it^s not. We fixed the VB code to spell out the directory name for rrwrun.exe(G:R&R Report Writer) and the control table (G:R&R Report WriterRL) in the command line (cmd$ = "G:R&R Report Writer rwrun.exe G:R&R Report WriterRL eports.dbf"). I got an error message "Invalid or duplicate command line argument". If I change the command line to cmd$ = "G:R&R Report Writer rwrun.exe RL eports.dbf", I got an error message says "Cannot open control file RL eports.dbf".____I did a test by creating a shortcut for rrwrun.exe and use "G:R&R Report Writer rwrun.exe" RL eports.dbf in the command line and it works fine.____Is there a restriction on how we named out directory for R&R? Thanks.

Thanks for your quick response.____I tried the code you suggested. I got an error number = 53, "R&R is unabailable. Application will be terminated."____Any other suggestions? Thanks.
