We're used to a Unix environment, but are testing out a Windows platform to host Baan. In attempting to use devices that are setup for ASCII or HTML output (rewrite devices), we have come into a problem where I use the HTML Baan device and set the path to \\server\folder\filename.ext but no out put is generated in that location. I've checked premissions and through Windows Explorer I can create a new file in that location. I've also encapsulated the path in single and double quotes to see if that worked, but the file isn't placed in the location specified.

The file does appear (intact) in the our $BSE\common directory on the Baan server.

Can anyone provide some insight? Thank you in advance.

I wrote my own conversion program to copy it down to the client and launch IE with. Maybe something new in your version, but on ours we had to use ttstpconv to get the converted html file - then we had to move it to the client(or client mapped directories). I only did this to test this to see if html reports would solve a problem.

I may be missing the point but perhaps it is the file path format:

On our server, the path in ttaad3100m000 uses the drive letter as if you were running it from the server e.g.

e:\reports

Thinking back, I don't think \\server\folder format worked.

just map a drive letter to \\ path and it should work.
