I am having problems reading a bmp record. A client has a logo that they now want to appear on their Invoices. So I loaded a bmp file into the Bmps folder and ran it in a test routine using the call x = set_printer('BMP','Bmps\BNHlogo.bmp…… That worked fine. So, I copied the logo into the Bmps folder in the client system, and copied the set_printer bit into the clients Invoice print routine. That did not work. Well - sort of. It prints the default bmp but not the logo. Can anyone suggest what I should look for to resolve the mystery. Thanks

Maybe you need a "." in front of Bmps\…. to .Bmps\…… to tell the system that the Bmps folder is a subfolder where OI sits.

I wish. It does not work nor would I expect it to be the solution. Prior to raising the issue I have tried moving the logo and calling it from a known folder - all of which work in my test system. Just not in this client's system. I should add that I have used the same logic for other clients and it works fine. Thanks Chris for taking the time to respond.

I wonder if this is a network rights problem with this image. What happens if you try a different BMP file in that same folder, especially one that is included with OI?

Ok - tried it with a different BMP file - same result. Makes me think the problem has something to do with the BNH account. My logic works in numerous other accounts. The BNH account is a single user so it is not exactly complex! But what am I looking for?

Since you are providing a partial path I suggest you first enter the entire path to the image file.

If that doesn't work then write a tiny program doing a dir( fullpathfilename) and see what you get. Or use the RTI_OS_Directory routines.

Ok - I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
