I am working on modifying some of the drawing display functionality. In 4c, you specified the viewer package in EDM parameters. In 5c, this is gone. The DLL (tiedmdll0020) code has a function call: image.display(filename) . I cannot figure out what program this actually calls to display the drawing. I would hope that this is configurable somewhere within Baan. Does anyone have any clue?

Unfortunately, this was Baan's response to the case I logged:

The functionality in Baan V has changed for EDM and drawing attachments. In Baan V the only type of drawings that can be opened or viewed are of file type *.gif, which are opened with a browser (usually Internet Explorer or Netscape).

This is a limitation of Baan-V that was not present in Baan-IV.

I guess viewing drawings was an unnecessary "feature" in Baan IV. :mad:

So, I ended up customizing a few components myself. I have placed a viewer program field on the EDM parameters table/form and have altered the library that displays drawings so that it calls this program. It now works for me like it did in IVc4. :)
