Strange error on Document Generation

[bob]

Hi

I have an issue with document generation that I do not understand where to start to resolve it.
I an using EA 13.5.1352 with EADocX 3.9.5.7 on windows 10 and Office 2016.

I generate a previously fine document and now linked documents do not print. Headers and footers also do not print.

This is the tracing information and you can see the failures.

What could cause this?

For each Linked document, eaDocX has to write it out to a file called temp.rtf in the same directory that the document is located. Looks like this has gone wrong. Maybe temp.rtf is locked, so can’t be overwritten?
I have updated the error message in V4 to be a bit more helpful.

Thanks for the information.

I have been experimenting and managed to identify the issue.

The location the document is in and the .eap file is on One-drive. If I create a document on my C: drive it all works as expected.

Looks like having One-drive locations doesn’t allow this temp.rtf document creation as I don’t see it flashing up when I generate. I do see it flash up on my local drive.

This is an issue as my company have made all my document locations One-Drive synchronized for backup purposes.

Any idea if there is some setting that will allow this behavior on OneDrive areas?

OK – I’ll change it for V4 to use …AppData/.. instead. That should work better for you.

Thanks.

In what sort of time frame will V4 be available?
