error in the code

[Dotnetdeveloper06]

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" Dim Str1 As String = "\\aflarchive2\aflreports\" + DDLJN.SelectedValue + "\20050413\AFL" + DDLRID.SelectedValue + ".pdf" Response.Redirect("http:Str1")

Well, now. You've put Str1 inside the quotes, when you want this: Response.Redirect(Str1) and put the http: inside the string definition. But I'd suggest that this indicates you need to learn some basic programming before you go off and write web sites that shunt PDFs around the place. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Also the url is totally wrong. It points to a file on a local server, that file will not be possible to reach at that address using the http protocol. If the file will be access in an intranet, you don't use the http protocol to get the file. If the file should be accessible from the web using the http protocol, the url has to point to a web site on the web server where file is located. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
