Maximize QlikView on start-up

sspe — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:12:07 GMT

Hi,

Everytime I start Qlikview, it starts in a "non" maximized window which is quite annoying. Even though I maximize it and close it down etc., it start in this small window again next time I start it.

The same goes for the Help screen. If I clikc on Help somewhere in Qlikview it start in a tiny little window whic I have to maximize or re-size before I can use it.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Regards

Steen

Try this

cd <your qlikview directory>

start /max qv.exe <your path>\<your document.qvw>"

Hope it helps you

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. It works, but I find it a bit cumbersome that I have to do it this way. Why can't it just work like most other windows programs....

I still have the issue with the Help that also only starts up in a very small window, so if any one have some tips here I'm all ears.

Regards

Steen

The same (open per link) worked with the Help. Unfortunately it don't work to replace the original chm-file through the link-file (which then opened the original - in explorer it worked) within qv. I assume that qv (security) checked some values/properties from the file, but perhaps someone had ideas for a workaround ...

Another idea: chm-files are not qv specific, it is a windows feature/program and many other programs use this, too. Thereby it could be possible to change the settings in windows, I assume somewhere in the registry.
