call-var and Windows XP

[david_beadle]

Hi

I have wrote some trigger code placed on leave of the Approver field on the Purchase Requistion screen. The vast majority of users are running Windows NT and everything is fine, however I have had a user running XP Professional complain they receive the error message defined in the code below even though the entry they put in the 'Approver' field matches the ID they log in to Syteline with. Has anybody else come across this before?

Regards
David

Hi,
Can u send the error message?
It will help me to slove this issue.

The error the users of Windows XP are returned with is the error message defined in the code I posted. For some reason the call-var variable is being returned as an ! for the users of XP although on NT it works fine.

ELSE IF (preq.approver <> call-var) THEN
DO:
MESSAGE "You cannot sign off requisitions using someone else's name!"
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX ERROR.
ASSIGN preq.approver = call-var. /*assignment to call-var added to find login - returns '!' for users of XP*/
END.

Hi David,
I have tried the same code in syteline 6.00.10 (WIN XP Machine), it is working fine.

Are u using Syteline thru Citirx?

Hi

Sorry for the late reply but Ive not been in the office since last week. We are not connecting to Syteline through Citrix but a thin client connection to Syteline database server. We are running Syteline 6.01.10
