Reader fails to open mail attachment when filename contains non-us characters
Tested reader with 2 identical pdf attachments in email (same pdf, different filename). If filename contains, in this case, scandinavian characters like ä or ö (auml or ouml), reader flags error "The file path is not valid". This is a serious error, there is no other easy way to read to attachment on the road.
Tested with Nokia Lumia 800 with Adobe Reader version 10.1.1 Build 20120919.
BR, Martti
There seems to be an issue here that neither MS nor we were aware of. The WinPhone SDK that we are using has a flaw, and does not properly translate all of the international characters from the source app to our application. By the time we get the pathname from the OS it has been garbled. We are using a special SDK from MS that allows us to use our native C++ rendering engine on the device, and apparently that special SDK is where the problem lies.
We have a partial fix awaiting Microsoft Review Approval, but it is currently hung up because our app does not work on Windows Phone 8. The special SDK we had to use for our Windows Phone 7 app is not supported by Windows Phone 8, and we need to get the store approval team to grant an exception for our continued updates.
I say this all not to rationalize, but to at least communicate to you what the status is.

Open file error when filename contains particular characters
In windows platform, when i try to open a file when the filename contains uncommon chars, such as ’ (different than ' ), the call to OpenFile returns false.
The filename is a wchar_t* , and I've tried any flavour of conversion to char* using WideCharToMultiByte, with no success.
Any hint?
Does the toolkit (5.5.0) support extended character set ?There seems to be an issue here that neither MS nor we were aware of.

Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or
Hello all,
I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.Hi Sonali,
This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
1. Save the database locally on server machine
2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
Steps to link the database.
1.Create a new test database on server.
2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
3. Select all the tables from the database.
4. Save the Database e.g. Test.mdb.
5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.

How to open Mail attachment in different spaces
With Snow Leopard Mail attachment stopped to open in the space to witch I assigned the related application, but keep on opening in the Mail space.
I have Mail assigned to space #1 and, for example, iWork assigned to space #3. With Leopard iWork attachments opened correctly in space #3, whereas with its successor they open in space #1.
I didn't find any option to set this right.
Besides spaces has not worked right since Mac OS X 10.6.0. It happens that even when I open documents from the Finder they open in the wrong space.
Is there any way to make it work fine, as it did with Mac OS 10.5?
Thanks a lot!
Dariotarget="_blank" did not work.
The attachment does not open directly. In other words, i do not use href.
The link is having an onclick event, which in turns calls the struts Action class and the response is returned as an attachment.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:openAttachment(this.value)" value="123">And the value is unique id with which I can find to file to be downloaded.
Again the file I cannot access directly. I get it as byte array, which I put it in to my response. -
Open Mail attachment in new window.
hi,
i want to open a mail attachment using new window (in IE). here i am able to manage to create the new window and viewing the contents but the problem is the new window is opening before the 'open', 'save' or 'cancel' dialog box is coming.
Currently in my JSP i am calling
<a href="<%= sformUrl %> target="newwindow"><%= name %></a>
this will open a window immediately and dialog box will come after that. if i select 'save', the new window get closed.
i want the new window to open only if i select open.
Can anybody help me?Renjith_Mathew wrote:
thx for the reply. if i remove the target attribute, attachment will open in default applications like .txt in notepad etc. But here the problem is if try to open the html or unknown filetypes, browser will try to open it in current window and my current page over writes.Doesn´t happen here. Definately a client side setting.
i dont want this becoz my web application is secured one and back/forward buttons wont work so my session will expire. What is it, "becoz"? Please write full words out. This forum is also visited by non-English-natives.
So i want to open the html attachment and unknown file types in new window only if i am selecting 'open'. (new window should appear only if i am clicking 'open')That´s not possible with HTML. Best what you can do is to specify the target only when the file´s content type is HTML and live with it. -
"Truncation context failed to open for database" when executing Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy
On a new two-member DAG, I'm unable to successfully create mailbox database copies. When I issue the command:
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity TFDAG1_DB1 -MailboxServer TFEX10MB2 -ActivationPreference 2
I get the following error in Powershell:
A server-side seed operation has failed. Error: An error occurred while performing the seed operation, which may indicate a problem with the source disk. Error: Failed to open a log truncation context to source TFEX10MB1. Hresult: 0xc7ff1004. Error: Error
returned from an ESE function call (-1305).
I do see event ID 222 from TruncationSource in the Microsoft\Exchange\HighAvailability\Operational log: "Truncation context failed to open for database 'eca57218-492d-49fc-a73d-88d919284477' from server 'TFEX10MB2' with reason: 'Database
is not replicated'."
The database copy is actually created, but it is initially in a suspended state, and won't become health until I either "Resume Database Copy" or "Update Database Copy".
Am I doing something wrong here? The documentation seems to inidcate that the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy ought to be able to hanlde that step on it's own.
Thanks again!
- JasonThese are brand new MB servers in a test environment. We haven't gotten to the point where we are testing backup functionality, so there is no database backup activity going on. And, yes - circular logging is disabled.
I just removed one of the copies, and created another using the -SeedingPostponed option. This created a copy that immediately appeared as "Healthy" within the EMC. I tried Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy immediately after, but then got an error that
"Replication for database is not suspended", at which point the database copy showed in the EMC with a status of "Disconnected and Healthy".
So I removed that copy and went back to creating a new copy without the -SeedingPostponed option... At this point the database copy was created and immediately shows "Healthy" within the EMC. This is what I would have expected initially, so I'm
wondering if perhaps the Mailbox server was just too new when I was initially creating my first database copies (as in Exchange was installed and I then immediately created a DAG and backup copies less than 5 minutes after installation was complete).
Since it seems like it's working now, I may be out of the water? Will test some more tomorrow.
Thanks for the feedback and anything further you can provide. -
Failed to open the connection, when view returns no data.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a minor issue.
I'm running a report in the crystalreportsviewer in asp.net.
The report is retrieving it's data from a view.
The report also has a subreport with an overview with totals, using the same view and the same parameters as the primary report.
Now everything is working fine in a filled database.
But when the view does not return any data, i get the following error:
Failed to open the connection. Failed to open the connection. Details:
[Database Vendor Code: 53 ] Failed to open the connection. Details:
[Database Vendor Code: 53 ] Failed to open the connection.
Freight_Charges_By_Branch_By_Period_By_Customer {9D0460D7-5C9E- 4FD5-B190-AFD41693A143}.rpt
Can anyone please help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Regards WilliamLot of important info missing here:
1) What version of CR?
2) What CR updates have you applied?
3) What version of .NET?
4) Is this on your dev box or after you deploy?
5) Have you looked up error code 53 for your database? (This is the error code CR engine is simply passing through from the db client)
6) What is the database?
7) What connection method are you using?
8) Depending on the version of CR, can you run this report in the CR designer?
9) Copy and paste the code used to run the report.

Adobe Reader fails to open pdf links on internet websites
My computer is running Windows 7, Norton AntiVirus, Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader X. I am able to open and view pdf file attachments in e-mail messages, but am not able to open or view pdf files from website links or web-based sources. When a link is selected, a new window opens, but the screen remains gray while the blue circular "hourglass" icon spins. Eventually an error message appears which states "Internet Explorer has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution to the problem." It is very inconvenient not to be able to open pdf files this way. Can anyone recommend a solution to this problem? Thank you!
Can You give an example of website where it does not work? I would like to check it from my machine (as I also have the same problem with links opening new window with PDF).
@Ankit_Jain: I also wrote about that problem here on forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959677?tstart=0 I am able to reproduce it for simple case (see first and last post). Perhaps if someone from Adobe can follow my example it will be easier to figure out what is happening... -
Open Mail Attachment without having to save file
I'm pretty sure I should be able to double click the icon for an attachment in Mail and it should open with the program from my preferences.
I can't even right click the file, choose open with, and select what I want to open with. Mail just sits there ... no error message .. nothing.
I can view in place, or save to downloads, or drag it to Desktop.
Where the **** is this setting or how can I correct this. Driving me nuts.On my machine a single click on a Word document in an email opens the Word doc, no double click required. I can see the Word icon before I click on it, it is not just a generic icon.
I can also right click and select the application, like you suggest you should be able to do.
Not sure why it does not work for you though as there are no settings in Mail that I can see that would affect it. -
How do I open mail attachment without having to save first
I have an iMac with Maverick 10.9.2 and mail version 7.2. I am trying to switch over from my laptop to using the iMac exclusively. The laptop mail version is 4.6. In that version, when I receive an email with an attachment, there's a little icon of the attachment that I can just click on and open it. In the new version (7.2), there's no little icon. Instead, if i click on the attachment, it just shows a file name and I'm forced to choose to "save as" before I can open it. Is there a way to set up my preferences so i can see the icon and click to open without saving?
Thanks!Open a message that contains attachments.
Then hover your mouse over that line that separates the body of the message from the "To, From, Subject Line." On that line in the center, you are given a few options. Trash, Reply, Forward, and the attachments. Click on the attachments and down at the bottom of that list. You can select the "Quick Look". With the list, you can click on each attachment directly and given an option to download it.

Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email
My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).
