version 4.0.167.0 not working as good as 4.0.166.0

[phil.mccrae]

Hi
I downloaded and installed PDFX4API.exe ver 4.0.167.0, i had been previously using 4.0.166.0
i have a vb6 com wrapper to provide details to Navision.
navision will print a report and email it as a pdf attachment.

when retesting the application i got a com failure trying to apply email options CC

i commented this out and retried the test

the sending of emaiil has stopped working, although the onfilesent trigger continues to fire

i uninstalled ver 4.0.167.0 and installed 4.0.166.0, reapplied the email CC (uncommented the line) and recompiled the vb dll

i then reran the above test and emails are sent ok

nb i am using the the email method option 2 (SendViaSMTP)

please advise?

Can you send me piece of code where you set "CC" option ?

[phil.mccrae]

the following code works with 4.0.166.0 but not 4.0.167.0

Public Sub EMail_Options(blEnabled As Boolean, _
strSMTPSvr As String, _
strFrom As String, _
strTo As String, _
strCC As String, _
strBCC As String, _
strSubject As String, _
strContent As String, _
blZip As Boolean)

objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Enabled") = blEnabled
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Method") = 2
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.ZIP") = blZip
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Server") = strSMTPSvr
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.From") = strFrom
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.To") = strTo
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.CC") = strCC
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.BCC") = strBCC
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Subject") = strSubject
objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Content") = strContent
End Sub

Names of properties are case-sensitive

So, valid code will be

Code: Select all

Public Sub EMail_Options(blEnabled As Boolean, _
  strSMTPSvr As String, _
  strFrom As String, _
  strTo As String, _
  strCC As String, _
  strBCC As String, _
  strSubject As String, _
  strContent As String, _
  blZip As Boolean)

  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Enabled") = blEnabled
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Method") = 2
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.ZIP") = blZip
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Server") = strSMTPSvr
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.From") = strFrom
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.To") = strTo
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Cc") = strCC
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Bcc") = strBCC
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Subject") = strSubject
  objPDFPtr.Option("EMail.Content") = strContent
End Sub

Hi

i did try the Cc and Bcc options with the lower case,but to no avail, i will try again then report back

[phil.mccrae]

Hi

ok retested 4.0.167.0

attached is a word document showing incompatibility with previous version(166) when recompiling the vb6 dll

the cc and bcc are ok no errors here

but the retest showed the email trigger being actioned, BUT no email was sent, whereas with version 166 the email was sent straight away, the event viewer shows no problems

the only thing that has changed in the dll for the new version 4.0.167.0 is the email options cc and bcc

everything else is the same as for the test with 4.0.166.0

please advise
