Error accessing external object property SaveDocument

[rcha...@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I am getting "Error accessing external object property
SaveDocument" error when I try to save the data from
RichText presentation style DataWIndow to A123.RTF file.

The code looks like below.

integer li_rtn, Net

li_rtn = rte_1.object.SaveDocument("C:\Program
Files\TPSSRC\wo_XP\111.RTF", FileTypeRichText!)

Net = MessageBox("Result","The specified file already
exists. " + &
"Do you want to overwrite it?" , Exclamation!, YesNo!, 2)

IF Net = 1 THEN
RETURN 0
ELSE
RETURN -1
END IF

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ravi.

Remove the 'object' reference from your statement. I am assuming that this
is standard PB RTE control and not some third part OCX.

li_rtn = rte_1.SaveDocument("C:\Program Files\TPSSRC\wo_XP\111.RTF",
FileTypeRichText!)

from the script, it is giving me"Error:C0051:Unknown

What type of control is rte_1? Is it the standard PB RichTextEdit control or
something else?

Alex,

The rte_1 is DataWIndow with RichText presentation style
and Data Source for this DataWindow is External.

The rte_1 is pulling the correct data from A123.RTF file and
displaying data in rte_1 control. But when I try to save the
modified data into a A123.RTF file it is giving me this

It does not appear that there is a native savedocument function for the RTF
datawindow.

You could use selecttextall and then CopyRTFto get the RTF string which you
could then write to disk.
string ls_richtext
dw_1.SelectTextAll()
ls_richtext = dw_1.CopyRTF()
