Concentrate on fixing the FileLocation option. I think you mentioned that the document shows up next to the aam. If that's true then JumpPrintReturn(FileLocation^"Glossary_Final3_12_07.doc") should be what you're looking for. You didn't tell OBP to put the doc in the "Files\\" subfolder. HTH, Mike

JumpPrintReturn is not designed to print a file on a server, so continuing to try to do that is destined to fail. ...not designed to print on a server...picture a lightbulb in a bubble caption...duh. So that is why it works in my self -executables/and on my c drives but not when published to the test server... When we decided to use the JumpPrintReturn function, the only roadblock we saw noted in the AW help files was that this function was disabled in "non trusting mode". That's why we inserted the AW Web player Security KO & listed the trusted domains. Was there a way I could have known that this function is not designed to work on servers from reading the help files or is this acquired knowledge? I started doing more advanced AW development last year but realize how complex the software is and learn a lot from the various AW discussion groups. I am pretty much on a learn as I go basis here. > We just tested it > on the test server and still received the shell error five (though we no > longer > receive the Where is the EXE? window). Well yes. The function can't do what you're asking it to do Thanks Amy!

The function can't do what you're asking it to do The Authorware community went over the Help files before the release of Authorware 6.5, but so far as I know, none of the comments have been incorporated. If you go to the LiveDocs, you can see any comments added to that since AW 7 was released. You could even add a comment of your own! http://livedocs.adobe.com/
