Hi @all,

How do the following functions differ?

Function SaveToFile(filename)

Function SaveToVariant()

Ok, the one stores a file on harddisk, the other one in an array. Why stores �SaveToVariant� not the same as �SaveToFile�, specially the graphic images of the Checkboxes.

SaveToFile is just that - writes to disk

SaveToVariant creates a byte array stream. It can be used to stream a pdf file to the browser like this:

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader "Content-disposition", "inline; filename=whatever.pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite QP.SaveToVariant()

If you want the data in the same format as the SaveToFile() method, try using the SaveToString() method.

The two methods do different things. They are not used for the same thing.

I guess I just don't understand your question...

What the differentiate behind both funktions ?

Why does SaveToFile handle the checkboxes right and SaveToVariant not ?
