I’m trying to connect a PowerBuilder application to various reports that exist in our BO repository. If the reports exists locally in the UserDocs directory, I am able to open them via an OLE connection from PB. However, if a report is stored in the repository and does not exist locally in UserDocs, I cannot ‘open’ or ‘receive’ the report. The BO manual suggests that the ‘receive’ command is OLE compatible and should retrieve the report from the repository but I am getting a PB application execution error which states ‘error calling external function receive’. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

This is the code that I have used to download from within BusinessObjects. The same should apply to applications calling BusinessObjects. If this doesn’t work you may want to send a sample of your code for poeple to look at.
