Hi

i have got the following code in my WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED

BEGIN
:global.path:='C:\My Documents\Uni\Database\';

OPEN_FORM(:global.path||'STUDENT.FMX');
END;

but this does not work and i am unsure why as when i press the button is says "cannot find...".

can anyone point out the reason why this does not work?

Thanks

Space between the my documents creates problem. Eleminate this space or change the patch of destination folder like this.
My documents to Mydocuments
and then give this path. It will remove ur error probably.

global.path:='C:\MyDocuments\Uni\Database\';
OPEN_FORM(:global.path||'STUDENT.FMX');

Try the call without the '.fmx'.

There is no problem in the code. I have done this. It worked quite well. I have run this code with button.
see the code

:global.path:='D:\work\';
OPEN_FORM(:global.path||'MODULE1.fmx');

I think there may be path problem in your code. Give the exact path then execute it.
