revBrowserOpen in LC 5.5.5

Post by xclntdesign » Wed Jun 12, 2013 5:39 pm

The line below works as expected in 5.5.4, but not in 5.5.5.

Code: Select all

put revBrowserOpen(tWinID,pPDFName) into sBrowserID
The error I get is "execution error at line xxxx (Function: error in function handler) near "revBrowserOpen", char 11.

tWinID is the windowid of the stack the browser will be attached to.
pPDFName is the name of an external PDF to view in the browser.

I just updated to 5.5.5 today on my Win7 PC, but left 5.5.4 on my machine just in case.

Is anyone else having this issue with 5.5.5, or did something change with browser commands in 5.5.5 I didn't see in the release notes?

Hi,

When I updated to 6.0, I had to manually copy the externals from 5.5.4 to 6.0. You might want to check that the externals are actually installed with 5.5.5.

Kind regards,
