FM 7.0 Book to HTML Conversion Error

Report · Jul 15, 2008

I am receiving internal error 7004, 6055410, 7658227, 0 when saving FM book as HTML. I am using the File > Save Book As function and selecting HTML from the pop-up menu. As a result of this error the program crashes and will shutdown after acknowledging the error alert menu. The FM book I am attempting to convert contains approximately 1,000 files and through the conversion it will create a separated HTML file for each FM file thats in the book. The error appears several minutes after the conversion has begun. I have preformed this conversion using FM ver5.5 without trouble for years but after upgrading to ver7.0 with updates 7.0p578 and 7.0p579 the problem m still remains.

I am using running Microsoft Windows XP ver2002 Service Pack 2. Pentium® 4 CPU 2.80GHz with 512MB of RAM.

As you probably know, there were several changes in FM file/book structure between 5 and 7 -- have you done the conversions necessary to move the files (and new variables) forward?

Also, I remember 7 as being pretty buggy. I'd go I'd go to version 8 if you have to upgrade, or 7.2 if you want a stable platform and have to use 7.

And finally for HTML export I'd look at MIF2Go instead of using any version's embedded export.

Art, thank you for your comments and suggestion you provided. I already made the necessary adjustments to the book files and each files before I attempted the original HTML conversion.
About an hour ago I upgraded to ver7.2 and the conversion is working perfectly now. Problem solved.

Thanks again
