Hey Guys,

I have another question concerning a browse button.

this code works in the click event of my browse button, but even I type a file name, it always shows either desktop or another random folder which I dont want.

How can I specify correctly a folder or file name?

And if I open a file it doesnt work on double click, I have either to select or to open it on the right mouse click. is it possible to open it on double click?

var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
this.rawValue = oFile.path;

var f = this.getField("SubmitFiles");
f.browseForFileToSubmit();

Thank you for your help in advance!!!

Diana

HI,

this method can only be executed through a priviledge context.
The JS API manuals says.
If the cDIPath parameter is specified, this method can only be executed during a batch or console event, or through an external call (for example, OLE).
Take a look into the JS API manual for more information about.
