I want the option to print a form, on exit, to PDF995.

So,

On Form Exit

vTmp = @PrintAForm(0, 1, 1, 1, 28, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1)

When PDF995 is selected from the print dialog, I get this warning:

Error: Cannot save changes to the current database.
File permissions may be locked.

The changes do get saved to the database and the document prints fine. This does not happen if I select PrintAForm from a command button and select PDF995.

Also, I do not get the error from On Form Exit programming if I select my One Note Printer, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, or my real printer.

Any thoughts as to what might be going on?

Thanks

Thank you Erika!

Thanks for all of your testing work Carl, I appreciate it.

I’ve now tested it as you have, and on two different machines, one XP, the other Win7. Here is a copy and paste of the code I put in to the Countries sample, On Form Exit. I still get the warning.

var vTmp as Int

vTmp = @PrintAForm(0, 1, 1, 1, 28, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1)
 

Another bit of info that I didn’t think would make a difference one way or the other, is that when the issue first presented itself, the database I was working on had security. I’ve seen this warning before when I’ve changed a user’s password and forgot to change the “x user name password” if it was the same. Of course I removed all security (although you have to manually remove the “x user name password”) for testing with no change.

I’ve now completely removed and then downloaded the latest driver for PDF995 and reinstalled, no change, still get the warning. BTW, this kinda thing can only happen to me,Right? LOL! I guess I'll be using the XPS writer.

Thanks again for your time Erika & Carl,

Brandon

Hello Ray,

Using the Countries sample database.

I open the database

Select Retrieve Matching Records button

Select Next Record button

The print dialog opens

From the name drop down, I select PDF995, then OK.

If I wait about 3 seconds the warning pops up.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Brandon,

What's odd is that the database at that time should not be trying to save anything back to disk. Can you shoot your sesame.ini file over to support@lantica.com so I can have a look at it and see what is going on?

Hi Brandon,

Tried with your ini file and the default one on several machines and I can only get this if I click the save button while PDF995 is in the process of printing, after it's done printing everything is fine. But the message doesn't just pop up for me, I have to attempt a save. I am wondering if it is somehow caused by windows. If you are on a newer OS do you have User Account Control turned on?

For the 7 machine, went to PDF995 Properties, advanced tab, and selected “Print directly to the printer” and the warning has not come back. Made the same change on the XP machine but still get the warning. Does that uncover any more clues?

EDIT - Scratch that, the warning is back now.....
