Hello,

I want to save my report as a pdf file, starting from preview.

But if I give a name like "2015.06.17 this is a test preview", the file is save as "2015.06.pdf" in stead of "2015.06.17 this is a test preview.pdf".

If I use the name "2015-06-17 this is a test preview", everything is working just fine.

The problem only happens if one or more points are used in the name.

Nevertheless one should be able to use point is filenames, shouldn't he?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Michel,

As a workaround please use:

"2015.06.17 this is a test preview.x"

The problem comes from FWH function FWFileSetExt( YourFileName, cExtension ) as we are assuming that the last "." is the extension of a filename

How can we know that it is not the file extension ? Thinking about it...

regards, saludos

If you want to use '.' as a part of filename, then append ".pdf" at the end of the name.
