Printing window left hanging

Hi,

WD22.

The reports in my application are written out to PDF files in a specified folder. This all works fine normally, but if for some reason the intended folder is not available (due to network security etc) then the report simply stops. Not a problem in itself because I check for the PDF file's existence in my application, but the pop up "Printing ..." window does not close and keeps focus, so the application effectively hangs.

Can I either
1. Stop the "Printing ..." window from appearing at all when I'm running reports OR
2. Get it to close if the reports simply stops/aborts.

I've tried using both the Case Exception and Case Error features to close the report, this has no effect.

Kind Regards
Reg

Not opening the window would not solve your problem, as it is the printing job that is blocked, not the display.

What you SHOULD do is test for the folder availability BEFORE you print... the fxxx functions should be able to do that very easily

You can use iWindowCancel before using iPrint to stop the printing window appearing.
