When trying to open a document in the external viewer, nothing happens. Why?

0

The way the external viewer feature works is by launching the executable you specify and passing the path to the document as a parameter on the command-line. For instance, you might enter this into the text box: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPVIEW.EXE When you click the external viewer button, Paper Valetâ„¢ will invoke the program like this: “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\MSPVIEW.EXE” “C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\My Papers\VISA\12345678\01-01-2006.tif” In order for this to work, the application must support command-line parameters.

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
