Hello everybody,

I try to create a command button to open and display a pdf file which is contained in a richtextitem. I don’t now how to proceed. I have tried to use the Open statement in Lotusscript after save my document on the computer :

Dim fileNum As Integer

fileNum% = Freefile()

Open “c:\test.pdf” For Input As fileNum%

But this solution don’t works.

So I need your help.

Thank you.

Best regards

Add a field $$HTMLHead and use this as the formula:

path := @ReplaceSubstring(@Subset(@DbName; -1); “\”; “/”);

file := @ReplaceSubstring(@Subset(@AttachmentNames; 1); " "; “+”);

@If(@Attachments;

“<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=/” + path + “/0/” + @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) + “/$file/” + file + “">”

;“”)

It works in the client and the browser.

Make sure you only have a single file attached.

This code is smart enough to launch the file using the appropriate application based on the users pc setup (ie registry).

I think that works…it does in one of my dbs.
