Visual Foxpro 9 reporting says file not found when run remotely
Hello,
I have an application written in VFP9, it has a couple of screens and a couple of reports in it, when I run it on a local drive it works fine, but when I run it remotely I get error #202 (invalid path or file name) :-(
The rest of the app seems to work fine, you can see the database, click run report a screen appears, put your search criteria in there and press go, it then extracts the data but it the final command which is "Report format report2" which creates the error.
Report2 is in the project and if I copy the exe to the PC it works but when I create a shortcut pointing to it on a remote PC it generates this error. The start in dir is set to \ full UNC just like the target is.
I have had similiar problem with class libraries not being found but by adding Set classlib to...... fixed that even though they were also in the project.
I guess what I need is a set reportlib to.. type command but I cant find one.
Any ideas would be most welcome thank you.
