Digital Workshop

I wonder if anyone can assist with this one.

I have a publication consisting of several pages. I needed to record the number of times a page was visited, so I incorporated this facility in a button (called "Recent") which also switched to the page in question. (see the attached screen cpature).

This works fine, and the .txt file increments by one each time the page is visited (or rather, when the button is pressed).

The problem is that this restricts me to a fixed path - I now need to have this behaviour available on a removable drive (which could be any drive letter on a target machine).

So I replaced the fixed path in the Destination with <SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR\MonthPagevisits.txt

When the publication runs, it still generates the MonthPagevisits.txt file, but the first figure which appears is 50, and this doesn't increment, no matter how many times the button is pressed.

Is there any obvious reason for this strange behaviour?

Should I delete the variable (and all other references) and start again?

there is a small syntax error in your code
try instead,

i.e. add an '>' after the variable and remove the '\'

Hope this helps

Thanks, Alan, for your quick reply

The ">" was actually in my syntax - I just missed it when typing my post! I have removed the "\", though and all now appears to be well....

Thanks for your assistance.
