tools menu item "command"

[israelsze1]

hi everybody

I want to view the last report file which is in HTML format.

so i tried to use the "command" option in the tool/menu/item

where the command was "IEXPLOE.EXE" and the argument was the "last report file"

what has happened is that the browser tried to open a web address named "last report file"



how to do this properly?

thanks in advance

Hi

"last report file" is not a valid argument to pass to a command in the tools menu.

Currently the location of the last report file is not stored after the execution is closed.

One way to view the report after the execution is closed is to store the location of the last report file in a station global and use that station global variable as argument to pass to a command.

If you would like to use this when an execution is valid you can use the external viewers available as a button on the report view.

You can also configure the external viewer to open automatically after the execution is done. This is done using configure -> external viewers.


I hope this helps.
