error message

I used   the following   macro in BASE to open a file stored in  the server until version 6.4.5.2 (64)of LO. (win 10 pro /2004.

sub open_file
'-----------------
    oform = thisComponent.drawpage.forms.MainForm
    surl = convertToUrl(oform.getstring(oform.findcolumn("URL")))
    if surl = "" then
        msgbox ("No Url found",16,"Error")
        exit sub
    endif
    oShell = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute")
    oShell.execute(surl,,0)
end sub

After updating to LO 7.0.03 I get an error message (attached) saying that " Windows can not find the file:///Z:/%CE.......". Be sure that you typed the correct name and try again.

Hi karadaidis,

you can't confirm you own bugs. There must be somebody, who could reproduce the buggy behavior. You could add a little example here so somebody could reproduce ist.

i found the cause of the problem.
Until LO 6.4.5 you have to use convertToUrl( ), but in LO 7.0 need not to use this, just the string.See the sub open_file.

This is an API change, so not a bug.

So should this bug be closed as Worksforme?
