In my Database I have a table called "Documents" where the customer can save the path of the PDF file corresponding to the document, like this for example: \\150.100.100.130\Traspas\DestiTemp\8.pdf So some of the documents are not in the same server, therefore the IP address used in the path. So before using FileDisplay to show the PDF in the browse I am checking if the file exists in the path. PDFFileName is string = ATT_ArchivoPDF IF fFileExist(PDFFileName) THEN FileDisplay(PDFFileName, "application/pdf") ELSE Info("The PDF file was not found") END So they always get the error message: The PDF file was not found It looks like the app cannot open the PDF located in other server.... However if they use the same path in the Browser they can see the PDF without any problem. http://screencast.com/t/gzphroNDKik Does anyone know why could be the reason of this issue? Any advice or sugestion is welcome. Thanks Regards, Victoria30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/52741-20-ffileexist-issue/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/52741-20-ffileexist-issue-52783/read.awp18 Jun 2015 20:06:00 ZHi Fabrice, thanks for your suggestion :-) It sounds like a good idea.
