How to document chain based on Sheet opening (Not Button)

Hi Guys

Just need some thoughts on creating document chaining when user opens a particular sheet by clicking on the sheet header (on sheet activate).

The open URL action is only available on button properties and not on the sheet triggers properties , has anyone else put a workaround on achieving this without using the button.

Many thanks

Hi Naweed,

Just a thought.

May be you can create one Button (You already told without using the Button, But just a try) . e.g Object ID : BU01

Actions : OpenURL

then, goto Sheet Properties -> OnActivateSheet -> Actions -> Run Macro ->

Put the Code Like..

Sub CHECK()

    ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BU01").Press

End Sub

You can hide the Button in Layout Tab -> Conditional as '0'

Hi Settu

Many thanks for the reply, however its Ajax only so no macros otherwise the macro could have solved the issue.

The only way I can achieve this from a look and feel perspective is if I turn off the tab row and use buttons to navigate between sheets this way I can document chain giving the user the perception of just moving to another tab.

I'm still hoping I can find a resolution for a trigger on sheet open in ajaax

Many Thanks Balraj

I don't have an issue with document chaining using the prescribed method. The issue is related to Sheet level triggers not having the Open URL action, hence looking for a workaround away from the standard methods to implement something similar in ajaax without using buttons.
